Catch all requests to a specific mime type/file extension in Firefox

Here is a Mozilla Javascript Module which allow to catch absolutely all requests based on their Content-Type Http header (ie Mime type) or their filename.

contentTypeObserver.js
(under LGPL License)

Normally, it would be simple to catch all firefox request by adding a nsIURIContentListener like this : 
Components.classes["@mozilla.org/uriloader;1"].getService(Components.interfaces.nsIURILoader).registerContentListener( ...nsIURIContentListener... );
But for some reason, this listener is bypassed here when the HTTP request contains a Content-Disposition header :(
So I give you there all Mozilla black magic needed to catch really all requests.

Hello world

Components.utils.import("resource://your-extension/contentTypeObserver.js"); 
var contentTypeObserver = {};


// Tell if we must catch requests with this content-type
// requestInfo is an object with 3 attributes : contentType, contentLength and fileName.
contentTypeObserver.getRequestListener = function (requestInfo) {
  // Return a new instance of nsIWebProgressListener
  // (a new instance to avoid conflicts with multiple simultaneous downloads)
  return {
    onStartRequest : function (request, context) {


},
onStopRequest : function (request, context, statusCode) {

},
onDataAvailable : function (request, context, inputStream, offset, count) {

}



  };
  // There is an helper function that allow to automatically save this request to a file,
  // you just have to pass destinationFile argument which hold a nsIFile instance :
  return createSaveToFileRequestListener(requestInfo, destinationFile, function () { dump("file : "+destinationFile.spec+" downloaded!
"); }
}


addContentTypeObserver(contentTypeObserver);
