Description
The code in HTTPSession is very complex and some methods won't work when base_urls is not set. When base_urls is not set the callers are most of the time only using the download_file function. We should create a new download_file function that does not depend on HTTPSession.

Research direction
Start by reading e3.net.http.HTTPSession and tracing callers that use download_file when base_urls is unset. Confirm which methods fail without base_urls, then isolate download_file from HTTPSession. Done means those callers work without base_urls while HTTPSession no longer depends on a missing base_urls value.
