1457520 - POST requests and POST data don't survive process switches

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1467223

(Core :: DOM: Content Processes, enhancement, P3)

Description

[Drew Willcoxon :adw]

When a POST request starts in one process but is redirected to another, we don't send along its POST data.  See bug 1435615 comment 6.

Mike, please feel free to correct/change this bug.  I filed it in Firefox :: Tabbed Browser since that's where bug 1376895 is filed, but I'm not sure whether that's the best place.

This looks like a Fission blocker, but I think the browsing context redesign would take care of this?

InputStream can be sent via StructuredCloneHolder and they should work cross-processes. We send them from child to parent or parent to child for Blobs, of instance.
