http://www.mozilla.org/projects/netlib/new-handler.html is a starting
point.  It's somewhat dated, in that nsIChannel inherits from
nsIRequest, so it won't work exactly as written, but it contains
useful info nonetheless.  Poking around
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/netlib/ should also be helpful.
