// To serve dynamic data off of chrome: URLs, implement the

  // Trait used to handle deleting a DataSource. Deletion happens on the UI
  // thread.
  //
  // Implementation note: the normal shutdown sequence is for the UI loop to
  // stop pumping events then the IO loop and thread are stopped. When the
  // DataSources are no longer referenced (which happens when IO thread stops)
  // they get added to the UI message loop for deletion. But because the UI loop
  // has stopped by the time this happens the DataSources would be leaked.
  //
  // To make sure DataSources are properly deleted ChromeURLDataManager manages
  // deletion of the DataSources.  When a DataSource is no longer referenced it
  // is added to |data_sources_| and a task is posted to the UI thread to handle
  // the actual deletion. During shutdown |DeleteDataSources| is invoked so that
  // all pending DataSources are properly deleted.

  // A DataSource is an object that can answer requests for data
  // asynchronously. DataSources are collectively owned with refcounting smart
  // pointers and should never be deleted on the IO thread, since their calls
  // are handled almost always on the UI thread and there's a possibility of a
  // data race.  The |DeleteDataSource| trait above is used to enforce this.
  //
  // An implementation of DataSource should handle calls to
  // StartDataRequest() by starting its (implementation-specific) asynchronous
  // request for the data, then call SendResponse() to notify.
