HttpClient is an evolution of the existing Angular HTTP API, which exists
alongside of it in a separate package, @angular/common/http. This structure
ensures that existing codebases can slowly migrate to the new API.
The new API improves significantly on the ergonomics and features of the legacy
API. A partial list of new features includes:
* Typed, synchronous response body access, including support for JSON body types
* JSON is an assumed default and no longer needs to be explicitly parsed
* Interceptors allow middleware logic to be inserted into the pipeline
* Immutable request/response objects
* Progress events for both request upload and response download
* Post-request verification & flush based testing framework
DebugServices is parsing false atributes values incorrectly.
Parse5 expects a string value for attributes, but currently boolean is being sent.
Closes#15494
Unlike in the browser, on the server there is no concept of a document origin.
Thus, it is illegal to make requests for relative URLs against Http on platform-server.
Currently this fails with a vague error:
Error: Uncaught (in promise): Error at resolvePromise
This change adds explicit validation and a friendlier error message:
Error: URLs requested via Http on the server must be absolute. URL: /testing
Another option considered was to track the concept of an origin for the platform
and automatically prepend it to relative URLs. This would cause automatic "local
RPCs" to be made, though, which would be an unexpected and undesirable default
behavior.

This is so that server side rendering does not throw an exception when it encounters animations on the server side and does not need the user to explicitly setup NoopAnimationsModule in their app server module.
Fixes#15098, #14784.

Previously, style values were parsed with a regex that split on /:+/.
This causes errors for CSS such as
div {
background-url: url(http://server.com/img.png);
}
since the regex would split the background-url line into 3 values instead of 2.
Now, the : character is detected with indexOf, avoiding this error.
A test was added to verify the behavior is correct.
