Methods
cacheOpportunistically()
Flags the specified key as one that should be cached opportunistically.
Note: This method should propagate the entry to other application caches with the same opportunistic namespace; however, this is not currently implemented.
void cacheOpportunistically( in nsIApplicationCache cache, in ACString key );
Parameters
- cache
- The cache in which the entry is currently cached.
- key
- The cache entry's key.
chooseApplicationCache()
Tries to find the best application cache to serve a specified resource.
nsIApplicationCache chooseApplicationCache( in ACString key );
Parameters
- key
- The cache entry key for which to select an application cache.
Return value
The nsIApplicationCache best able to serve the resource indicated by the key parameter.
createApplicationCache()
Creates a new, empty application cache for the specified cache group.
nsIApplicationCache createApplicationCache( in ACString group );
Parameters
- group
- The cache group for which to create an application cache.
Return value
The newly-created nsIApplicationCache.
deactivateGroup()
Deactivates the currently active cache object for the specified cache group.
void deactivateGroup( in ACString group );
Parameters
- group
- The cache group to deactivate.
getActiveCache()
Returns the currently active cache object for a cache group.
nsIApplicationCache getActiveCache( in ACString group );
Parameters
- group
- The cache group for which to return an application cache.
Return value
The currently active cache object for the cache group.
getApplicationCache()
Returns the nsIApplicationCache object for the specified client ID.
nsIApplicationCache getApplicationCache( in ACString clientID );
Parameters
- clientID
- The client ID for which to return the application cache object.
Return value
The application cache object for the specified client ID.
getGroups()
Returns the list of application cache groups.
void getGroups(
  out unsigned long count, Optional
  [array, size_is(count), retval] out string groupIDs
);
Parameters
- countOptional
- The count of the application cache groups.
- groupIDs
- The list of application cache groups.
