* party. If it cannot be determined because one or both URIs do not have a
* base domain (for instance, in the case of IP addresses, host aliases such
* as 'localhost', or a file:// URI), an exact string comparison on host is
* performed.

* For example, the URI "http://mail.google.com/" is not third party with

* "http://192.168.1.1/" are.

* 'bottom URI'.
* 2) If 'aURI' is provided, determine if it is third party with respect to

* 3) Find the same-type parent window, if there is one, and its URI.
* Determine whether it is third party with respect to the bottom URI. If
* so, return.
*
* Therefore, each level in the window hierarchy is tested. (This means that
* nested iframes with different base domains, even though the bottommost and
* topmost URIs might be equal, will be considered third party.)
*
* @param aWindow
* The bottommost window in the hierarchy.
* @param aURI
* A URI to test against. If null, the URI of the principal
* associated with 'aWindow' will be used.
*
* For example, if 'aURI' is "http://mail.google.com/", 'aWindow' has a URI
* of "http://google.com/", and its parent is the topmost content window with
* a URI of "http://mozilla.com", the result will be true.
*
* @return true if 'aURI' is third party with respect to any of the URIs
* associated with aWindow and its same-type parents.
*
* @throws if aWindow is null; the same-type parent of any window in the

* window in the hierarchy is null, has a malformed host, or has an
* empty host and is not a file:// URI.

* isThirdPartyChannel
*
* Determine whether the given channel and its content window hierarchy is

*
* 1) If 'aChannel' is an nsIHttpChannel and has the
* 'forceAllowThirdPartyCookie' property set, then:
* a) If 'aURI' is null, return false.
* b) Otherwise, find the URI of the channel, determine whether it is
* foreign with respect to 'aURI', and return.
* 2) Find the URI of the channel and determine whether it is third party with
* respect to the URI of the channel. If so, return.
* 3) Obtain the bottommost nsIDOMWindow, and its same-type parent if it
* exists, from the channel's notification callbacks. Then:
* a) If the parent is the same as the bottommost window, and the channel
* has the LOAD_DOCUMENT_URI flag set, return false. This represents the
* case where a toplevel load is occurring and the window's URI has not
* yet been updated. (We have already checked that 'aURI' is not foreign
* with respect to the channel URI.)
* b) Otherwise, return the result of isThirdPartyWindow with arguments
* of the channel's bottommost window and the channel URI, respectively.
*
* Therefore, both the channel's URI and each level in the window hierarchy
* associated with the channel is tested.
*
* @param aChannel
* The channel associated with the load.
* @param aURI
* A URI to test against. If null, the URI of the channel will be used.
*
* For example, if 'aURI' is "http://mail.google.com/", 'aChannel' has a URI
* of "http://google.com/", and its parent is the topmost content window with
* a URI of "http://mozilla.com", the result will be true.
*
* @return true if aURI is third party with respect to the channel URI or any
* of the URIs associated with the same-type window hierarchy of the
* channel.
*
* @throws if 'aChannel' is null; the channel has no notification callbacks or
