5// This file contains URLFetcher, a wrapper around net::URLRequest that handles
6// low-level details like thread safety, ref counting, and incremental buffer
7// reading.  This is useful for callers who simply want to get the data from a
8// URL and don't care about all the nitty-gritty details.
9//
10// NOTE(willchan): Only one "IO" thread is supported for URLFetcher.  This is a
11// temporary situation.  We will work on allowing support for multiple "io"
12// threads per process.

34// To use this class, create an instance with the desired URL and a pointer to
35// the object to be notified when the URL has been loaded:
36//   URLFetcher* fetcher = new URLFetcher("http://www.google.com",
37//                                        URLFetcher::GET, this);
38//
39// Then, optionally set properties on this object, like the request context or
40// extra headers:
41//   fetcher->SetExtraRequestHeaders("X-Foo: bar");
42//
43// Finally, start the request:
44//   fetcher->Start();
45//
46// The object you supply as a delegate must inherit from URLFetcher::Delegate;
47// when the fetch is completed, OnURLFetchComplete() will be called with the
48// resulting status and (if applicable) HTTP response code.  From that point
49// until the original URLFetcher instance is destroyed, you may examine the
50// provided status and data for the URL.  (You should copy these objects if you
51// need them to live longer than the URLFetcher instance.)  If the URLFetcher
52// instance is destroyed before the callback happens, the fetch will be
53// canceled and no callback will occur.
54//
55// You may create the URLFetcher instance on any thread; OnURLFetchComplete()
56// will be called back on the same thread you use to create the instance.
57//
58//
59// NOTE: By default URLFetcher requests are NOT intercepted, except when
60// interception is explicitly enabled in tests.
