Hey Andrew, anything here jump out to you?

Hm, there is one path that does not reset the validating flag in the requests. I wonder if we somehow ended up here:

I think we should teardown the request/proxies in cases like changed in the patch, but I'm not sure if you are aware of any cases where we should do differently?

mRequest is the existing (old) request. Why would we want to cancel it? The consumers of it (whoever might have loaded it the first time) could still be using it. Or am I missing something?

At the time, my line of thinking was to put us in a consistent state in the rare cases where validation failed to complete, for some reason. But I'm inclined to agree with you now; just let them retry and hope that the problem was transient rather than persistent. Will update the patch.

"Now we cancel the request and notify the proxies/listeners of the error."

Where do we cancel a request in this patch?

As far as I can tell the UpdateProxies call in AbortRequest will not notify of an error, because the proxy's are pointing to the old request, which presumably has nothing wrong with it.

What request gets aborted? Does the new request get aborted (if it exists) because we are the only one holding a ref to it?

UpdateProxies has a comment saying "this is safe because we are called from OnStartRequest, an asynchronously called function". We are adding a caller from ~imgCacheValidator, which could be called from unsafe places potentially?
Patch rewrite. It should not use async notifications if called from the imgCacheValidator destructor -- since we won't be changing the owner there, I can't see any other event ordering concerns. Fixed misleading/outdated method names and comments.

Okay the code looks good.

But I'm not convinced we want to point to the old request if we can't validate. If the network was down would we want to return the old request or return an error (like we would if we hadn't loaded the image before)?

If I am understanding you correctly, then are you proposing we meet halfway between the original patch and this patch? It would change the owner for the validating imgRequestProxy objects to a new, cancelled request, and the existing, already finished loading imgRequestProxy objects are unaffected? I can get behind that.

Yes, that was what I was suggesting, but I was more asking your opinion on the matter as there are arguments to be made either way.

I think it's too late for 60 here, given the small volume.
