881058 - Complete the interface for consumers of the JavaScript API for downloads

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Toolkit :: Downloads API, defect)

Description

[:Paolo Amadini]

The asynchronous JavaScript API for downloads, currently in development, can
already be tried out experimentally by add-ons and Mozilla products, but there
are already some planned changes and new features that will require changes or
additions to those consumers.

This bug tracks remaining changes that affect the consumer interface.

Comment 1

[:Paolo Amadini]

The interface is now complete, and is documented at:

https://developer.mozilla.org/Mozilla/JavaScript_code_modules/Downloads.jsm

We may still evaluate minor changes if required by other feature work or
requested for new use cases, but the general download mechanics are defined.

I can confirm that after the changes done and mentioned in the documentation, the downloads current functionality is working as expected and has not regressed. Is there anything else I have to test for this fix?

I don't think so, thank you for the tests!
