nsIMIMEInputStream

The MIME stream separates headers and a datastream. It also allows
automatic creation of the content-length header.

Methods

addHeader(name, value)

Adds an additional header to the stream on the form “name: value”. May
not be called once the stream has been started to be read.

Parameters

name name of the header
value value of the header

setData(stream)

Sets data-stream. May not be called once the stream has been started
to be read.
The cursor of the new stream should be located at the beginning of the
stream if the implementation of the nsIMIMEInputStream also is used as
an nsISeekableStream.

Parameters

stream stream containing the data for the stream

Attributes

addContentLength

When true a “Content-Length” header is automatically added to the
stream. The value of the content-length is automatically calculated
using the available() method on the data stream. The value is
recalculated every time the stream is rewinded to the start.
Not allowed to be changed once the stream has been started to be read.
