Methods
asyncOpenAt()
Open this channel, and read starting at the specified offset.
The request given to the nsIStreamListener will be QIable to nsIResumableInfo.
void asyncOpenAt( in nsIStreamListener listener, in nsISupports ctxt, in unsigned long startPos, in nsIResumableEntityID entityID );
Parameters
listener- As for asyncOpen.
ctxt- As for asyncOpen.
startPos- The starting offset, in bytes, to use to download.
entityID- Information about the file, to match before obtaining the file. Pass an empty string to use anything.
resumeAt()
Prepare this channel for resuming. The request will not start until asyncOpen or open is called. Calling resumeAt after open or asyncOpen has been called has undefined behaviour.
During OnStartRequest, this channel will have a status of NS_ERROR_NOT_RESUMABLE if the file cannot be resumed, for example because the server doesn't support this. This error may occur even if startPos is 0, so that the front end can warn the user.
Similarly, the status of this channel during OnStartRequest may be NS_ERROR_ENTITY_CHANGED, which indicates that the entity has changed, as indicated by a changed entityID.
In both of these cases, no OnDataAvailable will be called, and OnStopRequest will immediately follow with the same status code.
void resumeAt( in unsigned long long startPos, in ACString entityID );
Parameters
startPos- The starting offset, in bytes, to use to download.
entityID- Information about the file, to match before obtaining the file. Pass an empty string to use anything.
