Support for large requests #3

Closed tgherzog closed 4 years ago

Re-architect the fetch interface to support long URLs and/or very large parameter lists. Currently if these exceed the back-end threshold it returns 400 'Bad Request'. Checking with Raj on what the limits are.

This is now implemented as the refetch() function. The following now call refetch

All list() functions (which call wb.source.features())
data.fetch() (which is called by virtually all higher data functions)

Still need to do metadata
