Add Pause downloads button to installer

[awdev1]

Installer Version

v3.4.3

Description

When downloading off of the internet, I sometimes need to pause the download. However the only option is to cancel, which I do not wish to do as the process can take me hours to download a plane due to slow internet. Thanks in advance!

I'm not sure pausing a download is possible with javascript, i'll look into if it is shortly.

It is technically possible to implement a pause/resume function using range requests, however axios does not natively provide a solution to simply pause and resume a download. This has to be implemented manually.

Yeah I’ve messed with axios before, it’s a real joyride

I think, looking through the docs @FoxtrotSierra6829 provided it would require some server reconfiguration before even being implemented in the installer. GitHub seems to support it but The FlyByWireSim's servers don't.

This would require some server configuration before being possible.

You requested URLs that are not files.
Try curl -I https://flybywirecdn.com/addons/a32nx/master/html_ui.zip and you'll see it does send the Accept-Ranges: bytes header.

🤦‍♂️ My bad, I did think something was up. I can possibly look into adding support for it, but maybe sometime after Christmas.
