| michael@0 | 12 | * |
| michael@0 | 13 | * This interface provides a means to configure and use a input stream pump |
| michael@0 | 14 | * instance. The input stream pump will asynchronously read from an input |
| michael@0 | 15 | * stream, and push data to an nsIStreamListener instance. It utilizes the |
| michael@0 | 16 | * current thread's nsIEventTarget in order to make reading from the stream |
| michael@0 | 17 | * asynchronous. A different thread can be used if the pump also implements |
| michael@0 | 18 | * nsIThreadRetargetableRequest. |
| michael@0 | 19 | * |
| michael@0 | 20 | * If the given stream supports nsIAsyncInputStream, then the stream pump will |
| michael@0 | 21 | * call the stream's AsyncWait method to drive the stream listener. Otherwise, |
| michael@0 | 22 | * the stream will be read on a background thread utilizing the stream |
| michael@0 | 23 | * transport service. More details are provided below. |
