interface nsICachingChannel : nsICacheInfoChannel

/**
 * A channel may optionally implement this interface to allow clients
 * to affect its behavior with respect to how it uses the cache service.
 *
 * This interface provides:
 *   1) Support for "stream as file" semantics (for JAR and plugins).
 *   2) Support for "pinning" cached data in the cache (for printing and save-as).
 *   3) Support for uniquely identifying cached data in cases when the URL
 *      is insufficient (e.g., HTTP form submission).
