+ * (3) implement nsISeekableStream::seek
+ *
+ * History here is that we need to support both streams that already have

+ * the stream (by plugins) as well as clients (composer, uploading
+ * application) that want to upload data streams without any knowledge of
+ * protocol specifications. For this reason, we have a special meaning
+ * for the aContentType parameter (see below).
+ *
+ * @param aStream
+ * The stream to be uploaded by this channel.
+ * @param aContentType
+ * If aContentType is empty, the protocol will assume that no
+ * content headers are to be added to the uploaded stream and that
+ * any required headers are already encoded in the stream. In the
+ * case of HTTP, if this parameter is non-empty, then its value will
+ * replace any existing Content-Type header on the HTTP request.
+ * In the case of FTP and FILE, this parameter is ignored.
+ * @param aContentLength
+ * A value of -1 indicates that the length of the stream should be
+ * determined by calling the stream's |available| method.
