For proof-of-concept, this patch converts a couple of `Promise` returning methods to use `async` instead.
Please note that the `generic` build, based on this patch, has been successfully testing in IE11 (i.e. the viewer loads and nothing is obviously broken).
Being able to use modern JavaScript features like `async`/`await` is a huge plus, but there's one (obvious) side-effect: The size of the built files will increase slightly (unless `SKIP_BABEL == true`). That's unavoidable, but seems like a small price to pay in the grand scheme of things.
Finally, note that the `chromium` build target was changed to no longer skip Babel translation, since the Chrome extension still supports version `49` of the browser (where native `async` support isn't available).
First of all, note how in both `fetch_stream.js` and `node_stream.js` we always overwrite the `this._contentLength` property even when the response headers doesn't actually contain any (valid) length information. This could thus result in the `length` parameter, as passed to the network stream, being completely ignored despite having no better information available.
Secondly, in `node_stream.js` the `this._isRangeSupported` property wasn't always updated correctly based on the response headers.
This patch updates the `IPDFStreamReader` interface and ensures that the interface/implementation of `network.js`, `fetch_stream.js`, `node_stream.js`, and `transport_stream.js` all match properly.
The unit-tests are also adjusted, to more closely replicate the actual behaviour of the various actual `IPDFStreamReader` implementations.
Finally, this patch adjusts the use of the Content-Disposition filename when setting the title in the viewer, and adds `PDFDocumentProperties` support as well.
*This patch is the result of me starting to look into moving parameters from `PDFJS` into `getDocument` and other API methods.*
When familiarizing myself with the code, the signatures of the various network streams seemed to be unnecessarily cumbersome since `disableRange` is currently handled separately from other parameters.
I'm assuming that the explanation for this is probably "for historical reasons", as is often the case. Hence I'd like to clean this up *before* we start the larger, and more invasive, `PDFJS` parameter re-factoring.
It seems that the status check, for non-HTTP loads, causes the default viewer to *refuse* to open local PDF files.
***STR:***
1. Make sure that fetch support is enabled in the browser. In Firefox Nightly, set `dom.streams.enabled = true` and `javascript.options.streams = true` in `about:config`.
2. Open https://mozilla.github.io/pdf.js/web/viewer.html.
3. Click on the "Open file" button, and open a new PDF file.
***ER:***
A new PDF file should open in the viewer.
***AR:***
The PDF file fails to open, with an error message of the following format:
`Message: Unexpected server response (200) while retrieving PDF "blob:https://mozilla.github.io/a4fc455f-bc05-45b5-b6aa-2ecff3cb45ce".`
