/**
 * General purpose client for https://download.moodle.org/api/
 *
 * The API provides proxy access to public information about plugins available
 * in the Moodle Plugins directory. It is used when we are checking for
 * updates, resolving missing dependecies or installing a plugin. This client
 * can be used to:
 *
 * - obtain information about particular plugin version
 * - locate the most suitable plugin version for the given Moodle branch
 *
 * TODO:
 *
 * - Convert \core\update\checker to use this client too, so that we have a
 *   single access point for all the API services.
 * - Implement client method for pluglist.php even if it is not actually
 *   used by the Moodle core.
