course of action, move the "neverAsk" information from prefs back to
mimeTypes.rdf, remove the "Reset" button from helper app prefs, set up a way to
select "use default OS helper" for a given type. Patch by Bill Law
<law@netscape.com> and Philip K. Warren <pkw@us.ibm.com>, r=biesi, sr=bzbarsky,
what passes for moa in helper apps=bzbarsky.
Revising nsIChannel to allow for overlapped i/o. This consists of three parts:
1. Factoring nsIChannel into a protocol specific part, the nsIChannel, and a socket specific, the nsITransport.
2. Derive the nsIChannel from a nsIRequest.
2. Changes the notification system from necko and the URILoader to pass the nsIRequest interface instead of nsIChannel interface.
This goal stems from wanting to be able to have active AsyncRead and AsyncWrite operations on nsSocketTransport.
This is desired because it would greatly simplify the task of maintaining persistent/reusable socket connections
for FTP, HTTP, and Imap (and potentially other protocols). The problem with the existing nsIChannel interface is
that it does not allow one to selectively suspend just one of the read or write operations while keeping the other active.

as this code has been reconsolidated in the base class for
all to use. For everyone, if the mime type is unknown or octet,
then try to guess a content type by file extension in doContent.
Also, if we can't find a mime type, create a new one for all platforms
so we don't need to bring up the ucth dialog.

we are already done with the download. Break apart
SaveTodisk and LaunchWithTempFile into to separate
methods. never try to really open or save to disk
until we are sure we've brought up the progress window.
Bug #61947 --> pass in the initial time when we started the download via getDownloadInfo so
the progress dialog can use this information.

and force any Refresh urls back through the original window
context that initiated the helper app download. This solves
the problem where the user clicks on a link to download
content (either to disk or to a helper app) and that document
contains both a redirect for the actual content and a REFRESH
header which is used to point at a page the content provider
wants to see after the download is complete.

after we show the helper app dialog. So progress and load information is
now retargeted to a stand alone window instead of re-using the underlying
browser / mail window...In order to do this, the external app handler needed to implement nsIURIContentListener.

code review will come when this is done and gets turned on.
Landing of the RDF data source which keeps track of all the user specified mime type information.
Landing implementation of user over ride information when determining what helper app to run. now we'll
check the information stored in the data source first. If we don't ahve any over-ride information, then
fall back to the OS defaults.
code review will come when this is done and gets turned on.
Pass in the file extension (determined by the content type) that we want to use when generating the name
of the temp file for saving the data for the helper application.
code review will come when this is done and gets turned on.
Add support for nsPIExternalAppLauncher. Call back to the OS app service to launch the app once we are done
saving the file to a temp file.
