/*
 * This demo show you how to synchronize long-running tasks with your web application.
 *
 * Roadmap :
 * - When you come to that page, you are invited to click on a "Start" button to launch a "long-running task".
 * - By clicking "Start", you exec() a simulation of long-running task that only sets progress percentages every 1sec
 * - When refreshing, you can see progression of your task using a simple echo $sync->percentage
 *
 * Should be run using a web browser
