Supporting HTTP client adapter

See original GitHub issue

Right now, the TypeScript generated code uses CoreHttp, which in turn seems to use either XmlHttpRequest or node-fetch, depending on what is available.

However, since I am using Appcelerator Titanium to build my app (which is a node-based language but still doesn’t support node’s http library and therefore doesn’t support node-fetch either), I am out of options to make the generated code work for my app.

In swaggergen (which I would like to switch away from), it is possible to define an “adapter”. A simple abstraction that (per default) wraps the CoreHttp client, but can be substituted out (dependency inversion principle, open/closed principle).

I think it would be easy to implement in Autorest, and it would allow the library to be used anywhere, while retaining backwards compatibility.

Fair

I was focusing on the fact that moving to the new Azure Core libraries would remove the dependency on node-fetch and did not pay attention to rest of the issues like “node-based language but still doesn’t support node’s http library”

Can you elaborate on this please?
