Ability to get haxelib.json without downloading whole file

[bsideup]

Hi!

Similar to other dependency repositories, haxelib server should provide ability to get only haxelib.json file for concrete project instead of downloading full zip file.

This would be very handful for analysing transitive dependencies, also, haxelib client can be improved to download dependencies in parallel, it will significantly increate resolving speed.

Thanks!

Also, would be cool if lib.haxe.org will display dependencies info at project page

Hm I guess it makes sense.

I'll look into it when I do some work on the site next week, I can definitely see the value in it.

This is possible with the new website: http://lib.haxe.org/p/haxelib_client/3.2.0-rc.3/raw-files/haxelib.json

@jasononeil Please confirm and close.

Ok, not quite. The file exploration feature should make use of Data.locateBasePath, so that the haxelib.json is always at the top level.

Maybe is possible ( :) ) to create simple Api like getRawDescriptor(version):Url //or raw-content or parsed-typed-json hither.
