Cannot call .then on UploadTask

Version info

Angular: 1.4.3

Firebase: 3.7.5

AngularFire: 2.3.0

Browser: Chrome 56.0.2924.87

Steps to reproduce

const imageStorageRef = firebase.storage().ref('images')
const imageStorage = $firebaseStorage(imageStorageRef)
const uploadTask = imageStorage.$putString(image, 'base64')

uploadTask.then((snap) => {
  console.log('downloadURL:', snap.downloadURL)
})

Expected behavior

Log the download URL successfully.

Actual behavior

An error occurred on Firebase SDK (not on the AngularFire): TypeError: Cannot read property 'then' of undefined.

Hi, I have an unexpected behavior as specified above. But if I use imageStorage.putString(...) that is the method not wrapped by AngularFire, the error disappear. I also tried changing the following lines on AngularFire (https://github.com/firebase/angularfire/blob/master/src/storage/FirebaseStorage.js#L40):

From

      $cancel: task.cancel,
      $resume: task.resume,
      $pause: task.pause,
      then: task.then,
      catch: task.catch,
      $snapshot: task.snapshot
};

to

      $cancel: task.cancel,
      $resume: task.resume,
      $pause: task.pause,
      then: task.then.bind(task),
      catch: task.catch.bind(task),
      $snapshot: task.snapshot
};

Which add .bind(task) to the then and catch methods and now it works as expected. Not sure if this is a correct solution.

@davideast Sorry I’m very busy lately. If no one will do the PR I will try to do it next week.

Seems like we might need to bind task to all of those methods actually so they have the proper scope. I’m surprised the tests pass as is though… I don’t have time to look into this, but maybe David (who wrote the initial code) does. Otherwise, if you can find a failing test and put together a PR which fixes it, that would be awesome!
