Support both the console and browser equally

[nex3]

The http package should support IOClient and BrowserClient on even footing. "new http.Client()" should dynamically choose between them based on which is supported.

This would be awesome.

In my particular case I'm building a client library for a Rest service. My first priority is to build a CLI application using the Client and for that purpose I will need to use the dart:io's HttpRequest. But I want to reuse the Client lib for a Web Interface later on and will then need to use dart:html's HttpRequest.

In order to make that work I have to build wrappers for each HttpRequests.

It's worth noting that you can use the http package on both the browser and the console today; you just need to explicitly choose to instantiate either an IOClient or a BrowserClient and pass it in to the code in question.

Huh. Why didn't I notice that until now? Please excuse a newbie. :)

Reading "http package" I was just thinking of some future http functionality - I didn't know it was a package that already existed. Thank you for guiding me.
