26298 - Use of NS_OpenURI(nsIInputStream*,...) creates blocking stream.

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 24624

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect, P3)

Description

[Judson Valeski]

http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/widget/src/gtk/nsSound.cpp#234 shows a 
line using the netUtil function that wraps an OpenInputStream() call. The result 
is that the user is handed an input stream to read data from. The 
inputStream->Read() call is a blocking call and can/will block the thread it's 
called on. If this steam is guaranteed to be read from a thread other than the 
UI thread, evaluate whether or not the blocking behavior is ok, and if so, close 
this bug. Otherwise, your code need to do an asynchronous load of the URI. If 
you don't want to implement nsIStreamListener, please look at 
nsIStreamLoader.idl which will call a callback function you implement when all 
the data has arrived (it does all the asyncronous work for you).
