Long Polling Devman's Service Tasks Checking Client

Many generations of students have taken courses on programming in Devman. And they liked everything, except for one thing: there were no notifications about checked tasks. To find out the status of my work, you had to go to the site - it is inconvenient and somehow ineffective.

Devman takes care of the students. Therefore, upon learning about such a problem, they made a special service where you can send your request. And quickly get the status of the task in response to “has my work already been checked?”.

This script is a client of the service.
