54 * aObserver.OnStopRequest. It is recommended that the caller use
55 * OnStopRequest to act on the link's status. The underlying request
56 * will not be cancelled until after OnStopRequest has been called.
57 * @param aContext
58 * A closure that will be passed back to the nsIRequestObserver
59 * methods.
