switch from shred to super agent?

[fehguy]

Seems like the shred version we're on is broken for some important use cases, and their API has changed considerably. Can we move to super agent instead? @whitlockjc might be able to assess.

I would simply add it to the swaggerHttp.js class and should be 100% transparent

This bug(swagger-api/swagger-ui#956) is a result of bugs in shred library.

the parseUri function has a bug that can't parse a URI with @ in it.

👍 also jquery http-client (even dependency) can be ditched in the process.

There was also this use case with file uploads not exactly working with shred explained more recently in #231

[whitlockjc]

I'm going to do this after I get the current browserify/cleanup done, which should be today.

@aurelian does super agent encode support uploading files via FormData?

[aurelian]

@fehguy -- it should, but haven't used it myself.

[whitlockjc]

This should be done as of #279. It's not fully tested but swagger-js and swagger-ui tests pass with this implementation. I am sure swagger-ui will help us find anomalies as will our adding of new tests.

#279 has been merged so superagent is now being used instead of shred.
