Static Methods

isBase64Data	Returns True if path represents base64 encoded data.
parseBase64DataUrl	Parses a path to determine if it represents a base 64 encoded HTML data URL, and if so, extracts the components of the URL.
parseEmbeddedStringData	Parses a path to determine if it represents a embedded string data, and if so, extracts the components of the URL.

Signals

remoteContentFetched

Emitted when the cache has finished retrieving content from a remote url.
