Michael, in Bug 1038756 we started attaching a loadInfo to every channel whenever the channel gets created through NS_NewChannel in nsNetUtil.h. Now we are expanding the loadInfo attachment to also include channels that get created within JS to ultimately end up having a loadInfo on every channel.  Please find a description of all the required arguments to create a channel here [1] or alternatively here [2].

As far I was able to evaluate, all the files we touched in this patch are tests only. I assume using default arguments (systemPrincipal, type_other, and sec_normal) should be fine. However, please take a look and let us know if there are more descriptive/accurate arguments which we should use.

Thank you!
