Device API specification

The DAP WG (W3C) has specification sharing this proposal goal [1]. Our proposal might or might not look like it for the moment. Suggestions and comments will be submitted to the Device Status Task Force [2].

The proposed specification doesn't have a working implementation yet. The implementation will be done in {bug|677166}.

Proposed API

 [NoInterfaceObject]
 interface NetworkInfo {
   readonly attribute Connection connection;
 };

 Navigator implements NetworkInfo;

 interface Connection
 {
   // Estimated speed (in MB/s) of the current connection.
   readonly attribute unsigned long speed;
   // Return whether the current connection is restricted (like quota, pay per use, etc.).
   readonly attribute boolean       restricted;
 }
