Methods

newChannel(aURI, aLoadInfo)

Constructs a new channel for the about protocol module.

Parameters

A method to get the flags that apply to a given about: URI. The URI
passed in is guaranteed to be one of the URIs that this module
registered to deal with.

getIndexedDBOriginPostfix(aURI)

If the postfix returned is null then the URI’s path (e.g. “home” for
about:home) will be used to construct the origin.

Constants

URI_SAFE_FOR_UNTRUSTED_CONTENT

A flag that indicates whether a URI is safe for untrusted
content. If it is, web pages and so forth will be allowed to
link to this about: URI, and the about: protocol handler will
enforce that the principal of channels created for it be based
on their originalURI or URI (depending on the channel flags),
by setting their “owner” to null.
Otherwise, only chrome will be able to link to it.

ALLOW_SCRIPT

A flag that indicates whether script should be enabled for the
given about: URI even if it’s disabled in general.

HIDE_FROM_ABOUTABOUT

A flag that indicates whether this about: URI doesn’t want to be listed
in about:about, especially if it’s not useful without a query string.

ENABLE_INDEXED_DB

A flag that indicates whether this about: URI wants Indexed DB enabled.
