The current architecture shifts out the original channel and replaces it with a channel to the new destination. | |||

* There are also listeners that are notified of redirects, and have the ability to cancel if they don't approve (plugins such as flash use this). | |||
** There will be listeners that need to notified in both chrome and content processes, so use IPC. | *This will probably require IPDL traffic to tell the content process to do something similar on its end. | ||
** But right now these notifications are synchronous: we should change this to async on mozilla-central, and then merge into e10s tree, before trying to implement with IPC. | *There are also listeners that are notified of redirects, and have the ability to cancel if they don't approve (plugins such as flash use this). | ||
