(More specifically, the nsNSSHttpInterface parts of nsNSSCallbacks.cpp need to move.)

[Brian Smith (:briansmith, :bsmith, use NEEDINFO?)]

This is basically just moving the code between "class nsHTTPDownloadEvent" and "nsHTTPListener::send_done_signal", inclusive, to OCSPRequestor.cpp, minimizing the #includes in nsNSSCallbacks.cpp, and making sure it compiles and that the tests pass ("mach xpcshell-test security/manager/ssl/tests/unit" in particular).

Additionally, in a separate patch, the code could be simplified to avoid the use of NSS's SEC_HttpClientFcnV1 completely. The code only currently uses that because we used to use NSS's ocsp.c OCSP stuff, which required it. Now it is superfluous.

This ended up being done in Bug 1004149.

I'm morphing this bug a bit since IMO it makes sense to make at least some API improvements when moving the code. See Bug 1004149 comment 7 in particular for issues with the current API.

A lot of improvements were made in bug 1456489, although the implementation is still in nsNSSCallbacks.cpp. I'm not sure it's important to move it at this point.
