feat(http): Please make buildUrl public

[donaldpipowitch]

Feature Request:
It would be great if buildUrl would be public. It is a function which was copied nearly identical into Restangular and I had to do the same for a private module.

Any progress on this? We need to do this again for some mocking API service.

Personally I would be against just marking this one method as public. What I would do instead is to move it to a dedicated service responsible for serializing URLs and its params. Making this move would allow us to solve other issues - namely - difference in serilizing or array request params by different back-ends.

I had a PR for this extract-logic-into-a-service for quite some time so maybe now is the time....

[donaldpipowitch]

I would totally prefer a separate service which would be used by $http itself, too.

+1 for this feature.

@petebacondarwin I think that you've got super-powers to block users from a repo - @OMarohn is "spamming" all the threads in the AngularJS repo - presumably from an auto-responder...

I see what powers I can muster
