            Bug ID: 235535

          Hardware: Unspecified
                OS: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal

In r183467, checks have been added to avoid putting media resources from XHR requests in the disk cache, since they are likely specific to MSE streaming.
But this does not check for Fetch requests, which can also be used for MSE streaming.

This has been found by using Shaka Player on a low-end device.
Playing high quality MSE content was pushing to the disk cache faster than the device could handle.
Media data was accumulating in the the background IOQueue thread, and the NetworkProcess memory was constantly increasing.

Recently, similar checks have been added for the MSE IPC overhead in r282003.
Loïc found a few differences:
- it supports ResourceLoadInfo::Type::XMLHTTPRequest and ResourceLoadInfo::Type::Fetch, but not ResourceLoadInfo::Type::Media
- it has a different definition of isMediaMIMEType, which adds application/octet-stream to the audio/* and video/* we have in makeStoreDecision()

Should we attempt to factorize these checks?
