Attributes

loadingPrincipal

The loadingPrincipal is the principal that is responsible for the load.
It is NOT the principal tied to the resource/URI that this
channel is loading, it’s the principal of the resource’s
caller or requester. For example, if this channel is loading
an image from http://b.com that is embedded in a document
who’s origin is http://a.com, the loadingPrincipal is http://a.com.

The loadingPrincipal will never be null.

loadingDocument

The loadingDocument of the channel.

The loadingDocument of a channel is the document that requested the
load of the resource. It is not the resource itself, it’s the
resource’s caller or requester in which the load is happening.
