Methods

impl nsIHandlerService
[src]

[src]

Cast this nsIHandlerService to one of its base interfaces.

impl nsIHandlerService
[src]

[src]

/**
   * Asynchronously performs any IO that the nsIHandlerService needs to do
   * before it can be of use.
   */

void asyncInit ();

[src]

/**
   * Retrieve a list of all handlers in the datastore.  This list is not
   * guaranteed to be in any particular order, and callers should not assume
   * it will remain in the same order in the future.
   *
   * @returns a list of all handlers in the datastore
   */

nsISimpleEnumerator enumerate ();

[src]

/**
   * Fill a handler info object with information from the datastore.
   *
   * Note: because of the way the external helper app service currently mixes
   * OS and user handler info in the same handler info object, this method
   * takes an existing handler info object (probably retrieved from the OS)
   * and "fills it in" with information from the datastore, overriding any
   * existing properties on the object with properties from the datastore.
   *
   * Ultimately, however, we're going to separate OS and user handler info
   * into separate objects, at which point this method should be renamed to
   * something like "get" or "retrieve", take a class and type (or perhaps
   * a type whose class can be determined by querying the type, for example
   * an nsIContentType which is also an nsIMIMEType or an nsIProtocolScheme),
   * and return a handler info object representing only the user info.
   *
   * Note: if you specify an override type, then the service will fill in
   * the handler info object with information about that type instead of
   * the type specified by the object's nsIHandlerInfo::type attribute.
   *
   * This is useful when you are trying to retrieve information about a MIME
   * type that doesn't exist in the datastore, but you have a file extension
   * for that type, and nsIHandlerService::getTypeFromExtension returns another
   * MIME type that does exist in the datastore and can handle that extension.
   *
   * For example, the user clicks on a link, and the content has a MIME type
   * that isn't in the datastore, but the link has a file extension, and that
   * extension is associated with another MIME type in the datastore (perhaps
   * an unofficial MIME type preceded an official one, like with image/x-png
   * and image/png).
   *
   * In that situation, you can call this method to fill in the handler info
   * object with information about that other type by passing the other type
   * as the aOverrideType parameter.
   *
   * @param aHandlerInfo   the handler info object
   * @param aOverrideType  a type to use instead of aHandlerInfo::type
   *
   * Note: if there is no information in the datastore about this type,
   * this method throws NS_ERROR_NOT_AVAILABLE. Callers are encouraged to
   * check exists() before calling fillHandlerInfo(), to prevent spamming the
   * console with XPCOM exception errors.

   * of other sources besides just the datastore.  Use this only when you want

Trait Implementations

impl XpCom for nsIHandlerService
[src]

IID: nsIID = nsID(1408281879, 60514, 18081, [173, 188, 239, 204, 192, 107, 171, 205])

[src]

Perform a QueryInterface call on this object, attempting to dynamically cast it to the requested interface type. Returns Some(RefPtr) if the cast succeeded, and None otherwise. Read more

impl RefCounted for nsIHandlerService
[src]

[src]

Increment the reference count.

[src]

Decrement the reference count, potentially freeing backing memory.

impl Deref for nsIHandlerService
[src]

The resulting type after dereferencing.

[src]

Dereferences the value.
