Change get_podcast_downloader return type #22

Open ed-cooper opened 4 years ago

This return type is the only thing preventing the entire PodcastProvider interface being entirely independent of the web.

The return type will need to support asynchronous downloading and contain the total download size (as given by int(http_download_response.headers['Content-Length'])).

This will probably require the creation of a new class for the return type.

The current return type (requests.Response) also does not guarantee that response streaming is even supported, giving more motivation to change it

Looks like the stream type will have to be an iterator
