Methods

impl nsIIncrementalDownload
[src]

[src]

Cast this nsIIncrementalDownload to one of its base interfaces.

impl nsIIncrementalDownload
[src]

[src]

/**
   * Initialize the incremental download object.  If the destination file
   * already exists, then only the remaining portion of the file will be
   * fetched.
   *
   * NOTE: The downloader will create the destination file if it does not
   * already exist.  It will create the file with the permissions 0600 if
   * needed.  To affect the permissions of the file, consumers of this
   * interface may create an empty file at the specified destination prior to
   * starting the incremental download.
   *
   * NOTE: Since this class may create a temporary file at the specified
   * destination, it is advisable for the consumer of this interface to specify
   * a file name for the destination that would not tempt the user into
   * double-clicking it.  For example, it might be wise to append a file
   * extension like ".part" to the end of the destination to protect users from
   * accidentally running "blah.exe" before it is a complete file.
   *
   * @param uri
   *        The URI to fetch.
   * @param destination
   *        The location where the file is to be stored.
   * @param chunkSize
   *        The size of the chunks to fetch.  A non-positive value results in
   *        the default chunk size being used.
   * @param intervalInSeconds
   *        The amount of time to wait between fetching chunks.  Pass a
   *        negative to use the default interval, or 0 to fetch the remaining
   *        part of the file in one chunk.

   *        nsIInterfaceRequestor, then it will be assigned as the underlying
   *        channel's notification callbacks, which allows it to provide a
