Create a job that retrieves warranty/support information from hardware vendors (Dell, HP, ...)

[oyvindhagberg]

• Contact hardware manufacturers to get API access keys
• Write a CGI-script that retrieves support information for one serial number from a specific manufacturer. It must distinguish between temporary errors and permanent errors, and return appropriate http status codes.
• Create a new job in the service that creates tasks for up to 10 new lookups, less if many (failed) tasks are already waiting. The job should run often enough that it kan keep up with a large dataset.
• Support information should expire after a while, to keep the data up to date.
