Add a service in Pax URL to give the resolved URL [PAXURL-144]

[ops4j-issues]

Jean-Baptiste Onofre created PAXURL-144

When using version range (for instance with an URL like mvn:org.apache.cxf.karaf/apache-cxf/[2,3)/xml/features), it would be really helpful that PAX URL provides a service to "resolve" this URL to give the "real" URL (aka mvn:org.apache.cxf.karaf/apache-cxf/2.4.3/xml/features).

I propose URLConnection headers.

Another application would be to get a pointer to local using file and) reference: protocol in order to install bundles without using input stream. An example use case for this feature can be seen at https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KARAF-1333 that could be implemented without exposing "real" URL.
