Reload_config api to return promise

[tonis2]

Describe the Issue
I'm using kobold to generate images, and I'm trying to build a node based UI, something like ComfyUI.

So my plan is to chain /sdapi/v1/img2img calls with nodes and queues, but between those calls also call Kobold admin API, to switch configs/models.

By posting to /api/admin/reload_config for example {"filename": "model.gguf", "overrideconfig": "config.kcpps}

The issue is that the admin api returns response immediatley, that hey request was successful, but in reality the model switch is still in progress.

Could this be changed, so reload_config would return promise that resolves, once Kobold is ready to be prompted again.

Ah... that would be ideal, but the problem is, during the reload, the API server is restarted, so the existing connections are broken (so it can't send a response after it's done).

What I currently do instead is to poll the http://localhost:5001/api/extra/version endpoint during the server reload. When the reload is done, the poll will succeed.

Agree this is not the best approach, in order for a keep-alive connection I'd have to add a proxy server approach like this #1645 which is planned but not gonna be added so soon.

Okay, I'l try if I can get the polling method to work then

I'l close it then as it's already in planning.
