The Tor Browser: netwerk/test/httpserver/TODO@deefc01c0e14

Integrate friendly tips from Tor colleagues to make (or not) 4.5 alpha 3;
This includes removal of overloaded (but unused) methods, and addition of
a overlooked call to DataStruct::SetData(nsISupports, uint32_t, bool.)

     1 Bugs to fix:

     2 - make content-length generation not rely on .available() returning the entire

     3   size of the body stream's contents -- some sort of wrapper (but how does that

     4   work for the unscriptable method WriteSegments, which is good to support from

     5   a performance standpoint?)

     7 Ideas for future improvements:

     8 - add API to disable response buffering which, when called, causes errors when

     9   you try to do anything other than write to the body stream (i.e., modify

    10   headers or status line) once you've written anything to it -- useful when

    11   storing the entire response in memory is unfeasible (e.g., you're testing

    12   >4GB download characteristics)

    13 - add an API which performs asynchronous response processing (instead of

    14   nsIHttpRequestHandler.handle, which must construct the response before control

    15   returns; |void asyncHandle(request, response)|) -- useful, and can it be done

    16   in JS?

    17 - other awesomeness?
