//
// The URLRequest class implements the V8 binding between the JavaScript API
// and Chromium native net library. It is responsible for handling HTTP/HTTPS
// requests.
//
// The current class provides only the binding layer. Two other JavaScript
// classes (ClientRequest and IncomingMessage) in the net module provide the
// final API, including some state management and arguments validation.
//
// URLRequest's methods fall into two main categories: command and event
// methods. They are always executed on the Browser's UI thread.
// Command methods are called directly from JavaScript code via the API defined
// in BuildPrototype. A command method is generally implemented by forwarding
// the call to a corresponding method on AtomURLRequest which does the
// synchronization on the Browser IO thread. The latter then calls into Chromium
// net library. On the other hand, net library events originate on the IO
// thread in AtomURLRequest and are synchronized back on the UI thread, then
// forwarded to a corresponding event method in URLRequest and then to
// JavaScript via the EmitRequestEvent/EmitResponseEvent helpers.
//
// URLRequest lifetime management: we followed the Wrapper/Wrappable pattern
// defined in native_mate. However, we augment that pattern with a pin/unpin
// mechanism. The main reason is that we want the JS API to provide a similar
// lifetime guarantees as the XMLHttpRequest.
// https://xhr.spec.whatwg.org/#garbage-collection
//
// The primary motivation is to not garbage collect a URLInstance as long as the
// object is emitting network events. For instance, in the following JS code
//
// (function() {
// let request = new URLRequest(...);
// request.on('response', (response)=>{
// response.on('data', (data) = > {
// console.log(data.toString());
// });
// });
// })();
//
// we still want data to be logged even if the response/request objects are n
// more referenced in JavaScript.
//
// Binding by simply following the native_mate Wrapper/Wrappable pattern will
// delete the URLRequest object when the corresponding JS object is collected.
// The v8 handle is a private member in WrappableBase and it is always weak,
// there is no way to make it strong without changing native_mate.
// The solution we implement consists of maintaining some kind of state that
// prevents collection of JS wrappers as long as the request is emitting network
// events. At initialization, the object is unpinned. When the request starts,
// it is pinned. When no more events would be emitted, the object is unpinned
// and lifetime is again managed by the standard native mate Wrapper/Wrappable
// pattern.
//
// pin/unpin: are implemented by constructing/reseting a V8 strong persistent
// handle.
//
// The URLRequest/AtmURLRequest interaction could have been implemented in a
// single class. However, it implies that the resulting class lifetime will be
// managed by two conflicting mechanisms: JavaScript garbage collection and
// Chromium reference counting. Reasoning about lifetime issues become much
// more complex.
//
// We chose to split the implementation into two classes linked via a
// reference counted/raw pointers. A URLRequest instance is deleted if it is
// unpinned and the corresponding JS wrapper object is garbage collected. On the
// other hand, an AtmURLRequest instance lifetime is totally governed by
// reference counting.
