1081069 - Make nsICacheStorage visit and clear methods optionally work outside the context scope

Status: NEW

(Core :: Networking: Cache, enhancement, P5)

Description

[Honza Bambas (:mayhemer)]

When you want to clear a disk cache now, you need to do it over all combinations for anonymous/private/inbrowser etc separately.  See e.g. CacheStorageEvictHelper::Run.

It's not convenient at all.  Hence, asyncEvictStorage and asyncVisitStorage methods on nsICacheStorage should be added an optional flag argument expressing what parameters of nsILoadContextInfo the storage you are calling it on should be treated like 'any'.

The flags then will be:
- DISHONOR_PRIVATE
- DISHONOR_ANONYMOUS
- DISHONOR_APPID
- DISHONOR_INBROWSER

and for convenience:
- DISHONOR_ALL_BUT_APPID
etc..

and could be combined.

Note: better might be to think of using NeckoOriginAttributes and NeckoOriginAttributesPattern (needs to be introduced) instead of nsILoadContextInfo.
