Show bytes downloaded

[rduivenvoorde]

With the new downloadProgress signal you can (if available) see the amount of bytes downloaded.
After finishing (or during download) this could be shown.

I was thinking a great way of exposing this would be adding icons for requests, which "fill up" as the request progresses. Requests with undefined total size would show an infinite spinner, others would show something like https://www.freepik.com/free-vector/loading-icons_901192.htm

(And errors would have a "!" Icon, timeouts some specific icon too...)

Maybe we need to get @nirvn on board here?

More or less related to this. Would it be better to add currenttimemillies in the Request in core, or should I/we just do this dynamic in python? I'm thinking about changing the tooltip, which now has the (often rather long url with all query params), to the result.
Well maybe start of with the url, and if finished set the tooltip to:
Done, Status: 200 - text/xml; charset=utf-8 - 2334 bytes - 657 milliseconds

See #19 for adding this to tooltips

@rduivenvoorde , @nyalldawson , here are progress icons, styled to match our spinne:

I've made 10 steps, i.e 0%, 10%, 20%, ... 100%.

@nirvn Cool, thanks! Look nice. Will add them if I find some time after my 'search tree' thinghie.
Did you already think about the 'infinit spinner' and 'error spinner' too, or do you want to wait to see these first? Anyway: thanks.

Infinite spinner already shipped within QGIS (used in the browser panel). I think you'll find a good error icon in what QGIS ships too.
