Download oc client matching OKD/OCP version

[siamaksade]

Instead of the extension downloading the latest OKD release, it should check the OpenShift version and download the respective OKD/OCP version. This is specially important given the OKD/OCP 4 release.

Considering the above, version selection would not be needed for a large marjory of users and therefore should be hidden from the user. For example moved to something like "advanced config" that user can click to expand.

On second thought this won't be so easy. To determine the version I need oc itself (unless one can somehow call a REST endpoint).

One could of course download the latest and use it to run oc version to then get the matching oc version. Not sure whether it is worth it. Maybe as additional option on the task ("match oc version").

OCP is yet another beast, since to my knowledge we don't have a publicly accessible URL for downloading OCP binaries. My understanding is that OKD and OCP oc versions are identical in matching versions (at least in terms of functionality).

I believe /version should give you that as oc is also getting the version from the API.

OpenShift Online has also the same ambition to make the OCP clients available publicly, we could possibly take advantage of that? /cc @luciddreamz

We aren't actually doing any work in that area with OpenShift Online. We're pretty much in the same boat as everyone else with hoping that there is a better way to get those tools at some point :)
