/**
 * The <strong>PPB_URLLoader</strong> interface contains pointers to functions
 * for loading URLs. The typical steps for loading a URL are:
 *
 * -# Call Create() to create a URLLoader object.
 * -# Create a <code>URLRequestInfo</code> object and set properties on it.
 * Refer to <code>PPB_URLRequestInfo</code> for further information.
 * -# Call Open() with the <code>URLRequestInfo</code> as an argument.
 * -# When Open() completes, call GetResponseInfo() to examine the response
 * headers. Refer to <code>PPB_URLResponseInfo</code> for further information.
 * -# Call ReadResponseBody() to stream the data for the response.
 *
 * Alternatively, if <code>PP_URLREQUESTPROPERTY_STREAMTOFILE</code> was set on
 * the <code>URLRequestInfo</code> in step #2:
 * - Call FinishStreamingToFile(), after examining the response headers
 * (step #4),  to wait for the downloaded file to be complete.
 * - Then, access the downloaded file using the GetBodyAsFileRef() function of
 * the <code>URLResponseInfo</code> returned in step #4.
