| * A content filter that filters contents from the monitor traffic on a request. |
| * <p> |
| * This abstract class is intended to be subclassed only by clients |
| * to extend the <code>contentFilters</code> extension point. |
| * The subclass must have a public 0-argument constructor, which will be used |
| * automatically to instantiate the delegate when required. |

| * [issue: The notion of content filters is a UI/presentation |
| * concern, not something that is makes sense to have as core |
| * functionality. The contentFilters extension point, IContentFilter, |
| * and ContentFilterDelegate should all move to the o.e.wst.internet.monitor.ui |
| * plug-in.] |
| * [issue: CS - I'd echo the comment above that this seems like a UI concern. |
| * I noticed there's also a viewer on the UI side, so i'm not sure how these would interact. |
| * I assume that filters operate on the byte stream and aren't concerned with UI presentation... |
| * but usually UI's and filters are tightly coupled. |
