Inherits From:nsISupports
Status:FROZEN

This interface is implemented by the following components:

Methods

void onStartRequest ( nsIRequest request , nsISupports context ) void onStopRequest ( nsIRequest request , nsISupports context , nsresult statusCode )

void onStartRequest ( nsIRequest request , nsISupports context )

Called to signify the beginning of an asynchronous request.

An exception thrown from onStartRequest has the side-effect of causing the request to be canceled.

Arguments:
request: request being observed
context: user defined context

void onStopRequest ( nsIRequest request , nsISupports context , nsresult statusCode )

Called to signify the end of an asynchronous request. This call is always preceded by a call to onStartRequest.

An exception thrown from onStopRequest is generally ignored.

Arguments:
request: request being observed
context: user defined context
statusCode: reason for stopping (NS_OK if completed successfully)
