nsINestedURI is an interface that must be implemented by any nsIURI implementation which has an "inner" URI that it actually gets data from. For example, if URIs for the scheme "sanitize" have the structure: sanitize:http://example.com and opening a channel on such a sanitize: URI gets the data from http://example.com, sanitizes it, and returns it, then the sanitize: URI should implement nsINestedURI and return the http://example.com URI as its inner URI.

Attributes
The inner URI for this nested URI. This must not return null if the getter succeeds; URIs that have no inner must not QI to this interface. Dynamically changing whether there is an inner URI is not allowed. Modifying the returned URI must not in any way modify the nested URI; this means the returned URI must be either immutable or a clone.
The innermost URI for this nested URI. This must not return null if the getter succeeds. This is equivalent to repeatedly calling innerURI while the returned URI QIs to nsINestedURI. Modifying the returned URI must not in any way modify the nested URI; this means the returned URI must be either immutable or a clone.
