TYPO: see discussion in bug 95768 concerning cleaning up the buffering in nsAboutCacheEntry.cpp

Bug 120404 needs locale specific date representation, and this requires change of buffer from nsCString to nsString (I think). Other changes we've discussed: * use of a global nsString buffer, instead of global buffer pointer, and stop passing it to the visitor. * use of a simple nsString buffer and NS_NewStringInputStream instead of a storage stream. Also maybe some string clean up: * use of NS_LITERAL_STRING() for markup text * use of += (if possible?) instead of .Append

(should this go to cache?)

bug 165821 contains a patch that makes about:cache load asynchonously... there's buffer cleanup there as well, which might make this bug a duplicate.

Not really. Bug 165821 deals with about:cache while this one is about:cache-entry. So they don't intersect. However for bug 120404, about:cache buffer probably has to be changed from nsCString to nsString as well.

whoops, you're right ;-) as for nsString vs. nsCString... we can't really stream UCS-2 over to the HTML parser... it should be UTF-8 if it needs to be unicode.

-> cache, Networking cleanup. If this belonged in Networking, please return it w/ a comment explaining why, as requested in #4.

Note also that the CacheVisitor idl needs to be cleaned for string usage...
