Prior to this commit relative HTTP requests were not being resolved to absolute even thought the behaviour is documented in https://angular.io/guide/universal#using-absolute-urls-for-http-data-requests-on-the-server.
This caused relative HTTP requests to fail when done on the server because of missing request context. This change is also required to eventually support HTTP requests handled during prerendering (SSG).

This commit updates the `@angular/common/http` and `@angular/platform-server` packages to allow dynamic import of the `xhr2` dependency. The `xhr2` dependency has side-effects that rely on a global scope and as a result in some environments those side-effectful calls fail. With the changes from this PR, the import is delayed until it's actually needed, which gives a chance for the underlying platform to setup global scope (via shims) as needed.

These two options where created for a feature which was never completed. https://github.com/angular/universal/pull/1860
Eventually these options should be added to `withTransferCache` HTTP logic.
DEPRECATED: `PlatformConfig.baseUrl` and `PlatformConfig.useAbsoluteUrl` platform-server config options are deprecated as these were not used.

This commit adds a background macrotask when an XHR request is performed. The macrotask is started during `loadstart` and ended during `loadend` event.
The macrotask is needed so that the application is not stabilized during HTTP calls. This is important for server rendering, as the application is rendering when the application is stabilized.
The application is stabilized when there are no longer pending Macro and Micro tasks intercepted by Zone.js, Since an XHR request is none of these, we create a background macrotask so that Zone.js is
made aware that there is something pending.
Prior to this change, we patched the `HttpHandler` in `@angular/platform-server` but this is not enough, as there can be multiple `HttpHandler` in an application, example when importing `HttpClient` in a lazy loaded component/module.
Which causes a new unpatched instance of `HttpHandler` to be created in the child injector which is not intercepted by Zone.js and thus the application is stabalized and rendered before the XHR request is finalized.
NB: Zone.js is fundamental for SSR and currently, it's not possible to do SSR without it.

This commit introduces new types and symbols related to functional HTTP
interceptors - interceptors which are plain functions with access to DI via
the `inject()` operation.
This new form of interceptor is not exposed publically in this commit, but
the legacy class-based interceptors are refactored to be built on top of the
new API internally.

In order to support ESM for the `platform-server` package, we need to
remove two usages of dynamic imports and replace them with their
corresponding/equivalent import statement. This will also allow ESBuild
to recognize this import. Note that we want to keep these imports external, so
we explicitly specify the `externals` option for the `ng_package` rule.

In combination with the TS `noImplicitOverride` compatibility changes,
we also want to follow the best-practice of adding `override` to
members which are implemented as part of abstract classes. This
commit fixes all instances which will be flagged as part of the
custom `no-implicit-override-abstract` TSLint rule.
PR Close#42512
With this change we move `XhrFactory` to the root entrypoint of `@angular/commmon`, this is needed so that we can configure `XhrFactory` DI token at a platform level, and not add a dependency between `@angular/platform-browser` and `@angular/common/http`.
Currently, when using `HttpClientModule` in a child module on the server, `ReferenceError: XMLHttpRequest is not defined` is being thrown because the child module has its own Injector and causes `XhrFactory` provider to be configured to use `BrowserXhr`.
Therefore, we should configure the `XhrFactory` at a platform level similar to other Browser specific providers.
BREAKING CHANGE:
`XhrFactory` has been moved from `@angular/common/http` to `@angular/common`.
**Before**
```ts
import {XhrFactory} from '@angular/common/http';
```
**After**
```ts
import {XhrFactory} from '@angular/common';
```

In version 10.0.0-next.8, we introduced absolute URL support for
server-based HTTP requests, so long as the fully-resolved URL was
provided in the initial config. However, doing so represents a
breaking change for users who already have their own interceptors
to model this functionality, since our logic executes before all
interceptors fire on a request. See original PR #37071.
Therefore, we introduce a flag to make this change consistent with
v9 behavior, allowing users to opt in to this new behavior. This
commit also fixes two issues with the previous implementation:
1. if the server was initiated with a relative URL, the absolute
URL construction would fail because needed components were empty
2. if the user's absolute URL was on a port, the port would not
be included
PR Close#37539
Previously, we would simply prepend any relative URL with the HREF
for the current route (pulled from document.location). However,
this does not correctly account for the leading slash URLs that
would otherwise be parsed correctly in the browser, or the
presence of a base HREF in the DOM.
Therefore, we use the built-in URL implementation for NodeJS,
which implements the WHATWG standard that's used in the browser.
We also pull the base HREF from the DOM, falling back on the full
HREF as the browser would, to form the correct request URL.
Fixes#37314
PR Close#37341
Currently, requests from the server that do not use absolute URLs
fail because the server does not have the same fallback mechanism
that browser XHR does. This adds that mechanism by pulling the
full URL out of the document.location object, if available.

All errors for existing fields have been detected and suppressed with a

Issue/24571 is tracking proper clean up of those instances.
One-line change required in ivy/compilation.ts, because it appears that

Fixes#23023.
When a HTTP Interceptor injects HttpClient it causes a DI cycle. This fix is to use Injector to lazily inject HTTP_INTERCEPTORS while setting up the HttpHandler on the server so as to break the cycle.
PR Close#24229
HttpClient is an evolution of the existing Angular HTTP API, which exists
alongside of it in a separate package, @angular/common/http. This structure
ensures that existing codebases can slowly migrate to the new API.
The new API improves significantly on the ergonomics and features of the legacy
API. A partial list of new features includes:
* Typed, synchronous response body access, including support for JSON body types
* JSON is an assumed default and no longer needs to be explicitly parsed
* Interceptors allow middleware logic to be inserted into the pipeline
* Immutable request/response objects
* Progress events for both request upload and response download
* Post-request verification & flush based testing framework
Unlike in the browser, on the server there is no concept of a document origin.
Thus, it is illegal to make requests for relative URLs against Http on platform-server.
Currently this fails with a vague error:
Error: Uncaught (in promise): Error at resolvePromise
This change adds explicit validation and a friendlier error message:
Error: URLs requested via Http on the server must be absolute. URL: /testing
Another option considered was to track the concept of an origin for the platform
and automatically prepend it to relative URLs. This would cause automatic "local
RPCs" to be made, though, which would be an unexpected and undesirable default
behavior.
