1b9ca82439 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.

The full details of the change on written up in the netlib newsgroup.

2b01440bc0 Factored string bundles out of necko. Fixes bug 42107 - need to fix string bundle init workaround. Also bug 40506 - nsIWebProgressListener needs status text. Status messages now work in mozilla and viewer with internationalized and parameterized text! Added temporary error architecture until bug 13423 can be fixed. Extended nsIStringBundleService to provide method to format status message. r=valeski,jband,tao. verified=mstoltz 2000-07-25 05:45:56 +00:00

727f312b32 Necko API changes: primarily nsIChannel, changing initialization parameters to accessors. Got javascript: evaluation to happen at the right time (when AsyncRead is called) as well as on the right thread. 2000-03-29 03:58:50 +00:00
