* nsIInputStreamPump
*
* This interface provides a means to configure and use a input stream pump
* instance. The input stream pump will asynchronously read from a input
* stream, and push data to a nsIStreamListener instance. It utilizes the
* current thread's nsIEventTarget in order to make reading from the stream
* asynchronous.
*
* If the given stream supports nsIAsyncInputStream, then the stream pump will
* call the stream's AsyncWait method to drive the stream listener. Otherwise,
* the stream will be read on a background thread utilizing the stream
* transport service. More details are provided below.
