515678 - Provide a smart getter to get the object representation of a JSON Resource response

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox :: Sync, defect, P1)

Description

[Ed Lee :Mardak]

Because we return a String object as the response, our filters might actually change the response to an object before packaging it as a String. So we can attach an additional property on the response object to give the object version.

Always allow getting an object representation of potentially JSON response for any Resource instead of explicitly on filterDownload. Update existing Resource GETs that manually parse the response. This prevents the String response from accidentally toString()ing a filteredDownload that converted to a different type.
