This might "just work" for most direct download links when we fix bug 1348044. But we also must take care for channels the are created for resumed downloads (session/manual resume).

- nsHttpChannel::SetChannelIsForDownload sets the class and adds the channel to the throttler service
- resumed downloads are correctly marked as 'for download'
- I changed the MOZ_ASSERT(false) to just return NS_OK when we are trying to add the same channel twice ; reason is that regardless if the channel is SetChannelIsForDownload(true) before or after AsyncOpen, both SetChannelIsForDownload and BeginConnect adds (and have to) the channel to the throttler service. SetChannelIsForDownload can be called even after OnStartRequest.

I mentioned this in the bug where you explicitly stop reading from the network for h1 connections, but I'll mention it again here - it seems like we should automagically call the throttler methods in OnClassFlagsChanged. That way we can avoid potential future situations where we call {Add,Remove}ClassFlags without updating the throttler's view of the world.

Review of attachment 8856237 [details] [diff] [review]:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
This needs a test in common_test_Download.js, for both states of gUseLegacySaver. The DownloadCopySaver is in fact only used for downloads that are resumed and for some downloads initiated from the browser interface, but the most common case is for downloads to start from the external helper application service.
The test should at least ensure that we set the correct properties on the channel. I don't know the throttling code, so I don't know if we can test if the data is actually throttled, but I expect that testing the channel properties should be enough.

There is a comment in nsExternalHelperAppService that says that channelIsForDownload affects caching:
https://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/b1364675bdf5dffe63fd60373034293de0b513d5/uriloader/exthandler/nsExternalHelperAppService.cpp#1674-1679
I don't know that code, but we should make sure that this has no adverse effect here, considering that this code path is used for resuming downloads. Normally we keep data in ".part" files, but when this is not the case we shouldn't regress data usage over the network. I think you know caching behavior better than me, so I'll leave this to you ;-)
The two comments here and in nsExternalHelperAppService should also be updated so that they are consistent with each other.

The instanceof operator makes the interface available on the operand, so you can just call "channel.channelIsForDownload = true;".

We can check it's set isForDownload, that should be enough. Can I just modify existing tests?
The throttling code should be tested elsewhere (frankly, we don't plane any).

Actually, it was a bug we *didn't* set isForDownload on channels that the saver spawned. There is no implication to set isForDownload for resumed downloads. But there may be when not ;)

Cool! Didn't know, thanks.

Yep, modifying an existing general test case works for me just like adding a new test case.

Looking into common_test_Download.js, I am thinking of modifying test_basic. But I have no idea how to reach the channel from a Download object. Other option is to modify test_adjustChannel where the callback that exposes the download's channel is defined. The second option seems to me simpler to do.
Then, do we need some modifications to the legacy code as well?

v2
r+ but revert the change to common_test_Download.js, as I filed a separate patch.
Implementing a test for both DowloadCopySaver and DownloadLegacySaver was indeed tricky, and the change ended up being complex enough that I'd need review.
It seems to me that downloads started via nsIWebBrowserPersist are still not throttled. These may include downloads started by "Save Page As" or "Save Link As". If this is an issue, it should likely be handled in a separate bug.

Also, I just borrowed the test line from you patch, but it doesn't test anything about the "AddClassFlags(nsIClassOfService::Throttleable);" part, so the test would succeed even if that part didn't work as expected.
If there is a way to test these class flags, just tell me and I'll add it to my patch.

And I guess that FTP downloads are out of scope for this throttling code?

Just QI the channel (request) to nsIClassOfService and read the |classFlags| attribute or in C++ go with GetClassFlags(uint32_t ** result). All the flags are defined on that interface too.

just to be sure, iirc on redirect the request changes, but I assume this happens after any eventual redirects already happened. I'm a bit rusty on this code, please drop if it's like that.

I verified that we have already processed all the redirects when we reach this point anyways.

Honza, feel free to file a bug or not, based on whether this is relevant for throttling.
I'll land your patch and the test soon, including the verification for nsIClassOfService.

Oh, thanks for catching this! Yes, I'll file a separate bug for it.
