Pull-based agent

We are trying out BuildMaster, due to the nature of our Network Architecture, we are dealing with a few firewalls that prevent us from using a Push Approach, so the build master sends commands to the agent. Our Company requires a Pull Approach where the Agent constantly asks the service if there are new commands that it needs to run.

Please let me know if you can solve this?

At the moment, there is no way to accomplish the pull method. Our agents are extensible, but the BuildMaster service itself is not equipped to handle the incoming connections since it works backwards to the original design.

We have however thought about implementing this type of agent specifically to allow for hosted instances of BuildMaster. If you are a looking to purchase the enterprise edition, there are additional support plans that we have done in the past that would expedite the delivery of features like this.
