nsIInputStreamChannel

nsIInputStreamChannel

This interface provides methods to initialize an input stream channel.
The input stream channel serves as a data pump for an input stream.

Methods

setURI(aURI)

Sets the URI for this channel. This must be called before the
channel is opened, and it may only be called once.

Attributes

contentStream

Get/set the content stream

This stream contains the data that will be pushed to the channel’s
stream listener. If the stream is non-blocking and supports the
nsIAsyncInputStream interface, then the stream will be read directly.
Otherwise, the stream will be read on a background thread.

This attribute must be set before the channel is opened, and it may
only be set once.

@throws NS_ERROR_IN_PROGRESS if the setter is called after the channel
has been opened.

srcdocData

Get/set the srcdoc data string. When the input stream channel is
created to load a srcdoc iframe, this is set to hold the value of the
srcdoc attribute.

This should be the same value used to create contentStream, but this is
not checked.

Changing the value of this attribute will not otherwise affect the
functionality of the channel or input stream.

isSrcdocChannel

Returns true if srcdocData has been set within the channel.

baseURI

The base URI to be used for the channel. Used when the base URI cannot
be inferred by other means, for example when this is a srcdoc channel.
