1745165 - Unexpected NullPtr result from NS_GetFinalChannelURI

Status: NEW

Description

[Christoph Kerschbaumer [:ckerschb, back on Aug 10th}]

Given it's definition:

/**
 * Get the "final" URI for a channel.  This is either channel's load info
 * resultPrincipalURI, if set, or GetOriginalURI.  In most cases (but not all)
 * load info resultPrincipalURI, if set, corresponds to URI of the channel if
 * it's required to represent the actual principal for the channel.
 */
nsresult NS_GetFinalChannelURI(nsIChannel* channel, nsIURI** uri);

it might be surprising to consumers that the result is success but the uri is a nullptr. We justed fixed Bug 1720280 which surfaced that problem.
