New module to bring together some basic file functionality scattered around the web code
New module to bring together some remote file functionality currently scattered throughout the web code
Deprecated module - added warning
Moved compression checking into E::W::File::Utils
Deprecated a URL-based method - functionality moved into new module E::W::File::Utils::URL
Added chase_redirects method from Tools::RemoteURL and remote content fetching method from Tools::Misc
Created new error-handling methods, for better consistency
Added file_exists and get_filesize methods, and tidied up generally
Updated deprecated method warnings
Switch to using new module E::W::File::Utils::URL for chase_redirects
Marked as deprecated, as this method is moving to E::W::File::Utils::URL
Change to use new module
Fix to use new method correctly
Strip out file-reading code and use E::W::File::Utils::URL instead
Updated calls to moved methods, as they take slightly different parameters
Remove unused module
Explicitly use DataHub::SourceParser and update its instantiation
Explicitly don't import the uncompress method, because of a name clash
General cleanup - all these methods need to be passed a Hub object so thay can check parameters such as web proxies
dynamic_use has moved up a level to EnsEMBL::Root
