interface nsIInputStreamPump : nsIRequest

/**
 * nsIInputStreamPump
 *
 * This interface provides a means to configure and use a input stream pump
 * instance.  The input stream pump will asynchronously read from an input
 * stream, and push data to an nsIStreamListener instance.  It utilizes the
 * current thread's nsIEventTarget in order to make reading from the stream
 * asynchronous. A different thread can be used if the pump also implements
 * nsIThreadRetargetableRequest.
 *
 * If the given stream supports nsIAsyncInputStream, then the stream pump will
 * call the stream's AsyncWait method to drive the stream listener.  Otherwise,
 * the stream will be read on a background thread utilizing the stream
 * transport service.  More details are provided below.

impl nsIInputStreamPump

[src]

Cast this nsIInputStreamPump to one of its base interfaces.

[src]

[src]

/**
     * Initialize the input stream pump.
     *
     * @param aStream
     *        contains the data to be read.  if the input stream is non-blocking,
     *        then it will be QI'd to nsIAsyncInputStream.  if the QI succeeds
     *        then the stream will be read directly.  otherwise, it will be read
     *        on a background thread using the stream transport service.
     * @param aSegmentSize
     *        if the stream transport service is used, then this parameter
     *        specifies the segment size for the stream transport's buffer.
     *        pass 0 to specify the default value.
     * @param aSegmentCount
     *        if the stream transport service is used, then this parameter
     *        specifies the segment count for the stream transport's buffer.
     *        pass 0 to specify the default value.
     * @param aCloseWhenDone
     *        if true, the input stream will be closed after it has been read.
     * @param aMainThreadTarget
     *        a labeled main therad event target.
