Was trying to understand how nsIRequestObserver works and understanding its onStopRequest method. But couldnt find list of error codes for nsresult status object.
Documentation links to this page, https://developer.mozilla.org/en/nsresult but it is non-existant

There is this very old error code list page; it is in the wrong place and probably needs updating:

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Table_Of_Errors

I've moved this page to where it belongs:

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Errors

I've also updated the nsresult page to have more obvious linkage over to the error number page, as well as some other tweaks: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Tech/XPCOM/Reference/Core_functions/nsresult

The "Errors" page needs to be reviewed and updated with newer errors.

Where did you find a link to https://developer.mozilla.org/en/nsresult? That page needs to be fixed, since that link is very wrong.

I've corrected the following two pages, which were the two pages referencing invalid URLs for nsresult:

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Tech/XPCOM/Reference/Interface/nsIException
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Tech/XPCOM/Reference/Interface/NsIRequest

I also filed bug 1247348 for updating the XPCOM error/result code list at https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Errors.

Closing this bug.
