> 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/01b18450882da9bb9c903d43c0daddbc03c2c35d];
> 2. XMLHTTPRequest documentation [here|https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/XMLHttpRequest/Using_XMLHttpRequest].
> 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.
