Usage of RemoteIO in Slicer

I notice that the only reason we depend on curl is for existence of RemoteIO library that has been "replaced" by SampleData and DataStore.

I really like the concept of registering URI that could be downloaded that is why we should keep the infrastructure in place.

That said, I was thinking to get remove the following classes:

vtkHIDHandler.h
vtkHIDTagTable.h
vtkSRBHandler.h
vtkXNATHandler.h
vtkXNDHandler.h
vtkXNDTagTable.h

Then, we could implement a Qt based  vtkHTTPHandler handler, that way we could simply remove the curl dependency.

In the mean time, I would also remove the FetchMI logic which is not maintained or used at that point.

Let me know what you think,

• Bump:
  • ITK tag to 4.5rc01
