[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBDS-4044) Use angular $http service instead of node request module

Use angular $http service instead of node request module -------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBDS-4044 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBDS-4044 Project: Red Hat JBoss Developer Studio (devstudio) Issue Type: Enhancement Components: platform-installer Affects Versions: 10.2.0.AM1 Reporter: Denis Golovin Assignee: Denis Golovin Priority: Critical Fix For: 11.0.0.AM2 Since April $http service seems to support progress reporting for http requests: 1. See httpspec.js in this [commit|https://github.com/angular/angular.js/commit/01b18450882da9bb9c903...]; 2. XMLHTTPRequest documentation [here|https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/XMLHttpRequest/Usin...]. Questions: 1. Does it support redirects? 2. How authentication is supported? Benefits: 1. Native browser service, so probably should be working faster; 2. Proxy settings picked up from system settings, so there is no need to set up environment variables before running the installer. Drawbacks: 1. Proxy errors are not detectable (?) It just printed out to console without providing info trough returning error parameter for callback; 2. No third party multi-threaded downloaders that would support restarting download from the position where it failed.
