// This file contains URLFetcher, a wrapper around net::URLRequest that handles
// low-level details like thread safety, ref counting, and incremental buffer
// reading.  This is useful for callers who simply want to get the data from a
// URL and don't care about all the nitty-gritty details.
//
// NOTE(willchan): Only one "IO" thread is supported for URLFetcher.  This is a
// temporary situation.  We will work on allowing support for multiple "io"
// threads per process.

// To use this class, create an instance with the desired URL and a pointer to
// the object to be notified when the URL has been loaded:
//   URLFetcher* fetcher = new URLFetcher("http://www.google.com",
//                                        URLFetcher::GET, this);
//
// Then, optionally set properties on this object, like the request context or
// extra headers:
//   fetcher->SetExtraRequestHeaders("X-Foo: bar");
//
// Finally, start the request:
//   fetcher->Start();
//
//
// The object you supply as a delegate must inherit from URLFetcher::Delegate;
// when the fetch is completed, OnURLFetchComplete() will be called with a
// pointer to the URLFetcher.  From that point until the original URLFetcher
// instance is destroyed, you may use accessor methods to see the result of
// the fetch. You should copy these objects if you need them to live longer
// than the URLFetcher instance. If the URLFetcher instance is destroyed
// before the callback happens, the fetch will be canceled and no callback
// will occur.
//
// You may create the URLFetcher instance on any thread; OnURLFetchComplete()
// will be called back on the same thread you use to create the instance.
//
//
// NOTE: By default URLFetcher requests are NOT intercepted, except when
// interception is explicitly enabled in tests.
