I don't really understand why you want an nsIOutputStream... unless
your Java API wants one, maybe? It sounds like it will work, but if
all you want is a byte[], then why don't you, in AsyncOpen, just read
all of the data from the stream into such a byte array, using
nsIInputStream::Read or ReadSegments or something?
The file channel code does what it does because it does want to write
to a stream eventually (the file output stream). It uses the async
stream copier in order not to hang the UI while it writes to the file
(don't know how much of an issue that'd be for you...).
I thought of implementing an nsIOutputStream and using the async copier
in order to allow the nsIRequest methods of the channel to query the
copier while an upload is taking place. I'm not sure where methods
these are called from.
