Add support for progress events

[dam0vm3nt]

Is it possible to add support for progress event for both upload and download phases ?

I can't see a clean way to integrate this into the API. The browser client can potentially add event streams to Response.context, but we can't return a Response object until the request has been fully sent, which means you wouldn't get any upload events.

In general, this package's goal is to create a cross-platform HTTP API. If you need advanced features that only work on a certain platform, such as progress reporting, you may be better off using the native APIs.

actually I think those events should belong to the request. I've done it in my own browser_client implementation and I think it's not so bad. Take a look at this if you want.

That doesn't match the structure of the package. The request flows into nested layers of clients; the base client (in this case BrowserClient) can't set fields on the request that the caller will see.

This link looks broken.

@nex3 in the meanwhile it has moved here

I've used an expando to "extend" the request object with those extra properties, so this issue to me can actually stay closed. But I post this anyway because I think it can be usefull for you.
