Question: Is it possible for an addon to download a file from the bfcache? If yes, how? I’m trying to prevent another hit to the server.
My current scenario: I wrote a custom addon (using addon sdk) for myself and currently I am able to download files from the regular cache using nsIWebBrowserPersist.saveURI(). However, there are some other files that are not being stored in the cache, so when I use saveURI(), it makes another request to the server. When I debug using Firebug, it looks like these other files are in the bfcache.
