Seems that onDownloadProgress does not work in nodejs

[micooz]

#### Summary

In node.js:

(async () => {
  const response = await axios({
    method: 'get',
    url: 'https://github.com/mzabriskie/axios/blob/master/dist/axios.js',
    onDownloadProgress: (progressEvent) => {
      console.log(progressEvent); // seems never to be called
    },
    responseType: 'stream'
  });
  const stream = response.data;

})();

After I checked out the code, I found that onDownloadProgress is actually an event handler(xhr.js#151) of XMLHttpRequest which doesn't available in nodejs .

How can I get download progress in node.js? Is there any plan to make an implementation in node.js using http module?

#### Context

• axios version: v0.16.1
• Environment: node v7.10.0, chrome 57, ubuntu

is not only in node, it doesn't seem to be working on the browser either

I am using the version v0.15.3 and it's working there. Also I am using Ubuntu 16.04, Node v6.9.1 and Chrome 58.0.3029.110 (64-bit), in case you want to try it on those versions

onDownloadProgress only works in the browser indeed. That should be noticed in the documentation.

In this case you're using responseType: stream so you can implement the download progress by looking at the Content-Length response header and the dataevents in the stream you get in the response.

@rubennorte seems it not works in the browser. I gets total: 0 in the properties.
