1437094 - EventSource should set INHIBIT_CACHING to use "no-store" caching mode as required in spec

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: DOM: Core & HTML, enhancement)

Description

[Ben Kelly [:bkelly, not reviewing]]

In bug 1437080 I am fixing how we report our FetchEvent.request.cache values.  As a result it is now evident that we are not setting the right flags to match the spec'd "no-store" cache mode.  We not only need to bypass the cache, but we need to avoid populating the cache as well.  So lets set INHIBIT_CACHING.

Boris, step 11 here says we should be using "no-store" cache mode for EventSource requests:

https://html.spec.whatwg.org/#dom-eventsource

The "no-store" fetch cache mode maps to LOAD_BYPASS_CACHE and INHIBIT_CACHING in necko:

EventSource only uses LOAD_BYPASS_CACHE, though.  We have tests to check for no-store, but they are confused by bug 1437080.

This patch adds the INHIBIT_CACHING flag to the EventSource nsIChannel load flags.
