nsIPluginInstancePeer in Firefox 3.0

 The nsIPluginInstancePeer interface is the set of operations implemented
 by the browser to support a plugin instance. When a plugin instance is 
 constructed, a nsIPluginInstancePeer is passed to its initializer 
 representing the instantiation of the plugin on the page. 

 Other interfaces may be obtained from nsIPluginInstancePeer by calling
 QueryInterface, e.g. nsIPluginTagInfo.

Attributes

 Returns the MIME type of the plugin instance. 

 (Corresponds to NPP_New's MIMEType argument.)

 @param aMIMEType - resulting MIME type
 @result          - NS_OK if this operation was successful

readonly attribute nsMIMEType MIMEType

 Returns the mode of the plugin instance, i.e. whether the plugin is
 embedded in the html, or full page. 

 (Corresponds to NPP_New's mode argument.)

 @param result - the resulting mode
 @result       - NS_OK if this operation was successful

readonly attribute nsPluginMode mode

Methods

 Returns the value of a variable associated with the plugin manager.

 (Corresponds to NPN_GetValue.)

 @param aVariable - the plugin manager variable to get
 @param aValue    - the address of where to store the resulting value
 @result          - NS_OK if this operation was successful

void getValue(in nsPluginInstancePeerVariable aVariable, in voidPtr aValue)

 This operation is called by the plugin instance when it wishes to send
 a stream of data to the browser. It constructs a new output stream to which
 the plugin may send the data. When complete, the Close and Release methods
 should be called on the output stream.

 (Corresponds to NPN_NewStream.)

 @param aType   - MIME type of the stream to create
 @param aTarget - the target window name to receive the data
 @param aResult - the resulting output stream
 @result        - NS_OK if this operation was successful

void newStream(in nsMIMEType aType, in string aTarget, out nsIOutputStream aResult)

 Set the desired size of the window in which the plugin instance lives.

 @param aWidth  - new window width
 @param aHeight - new window height
 @result        - NS_OK if this operation was successful

void setWindowSize(in unsigned long aWidth, in unsigned long aHeight)

 This operation causes status information to be displayed on the window
 associated with the plugin instance. 

 (Corresponds to NPN_Status.)

 @param aMessage - the status message to display
 @result         - NS_OK if this operation was successful

void showStatus(in string aMessage)
