1022698 - Incoming remote debugger connections do not identify the source.

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox OS Graveyard :: Developer Tools, defect)

Description

[Jukka Jylänki]

When initiating a connection with App Manager to a FFOS device, the device will display a prompt with the message

"An incoming request to permit remote debugging connection was detected. Allow connection?"

this message does not identify the source of the connection. It would be good to have some form of identification in the form of IP:PORT or a MAC address that tells the user where the connection is coming from.

That would be a useful feature to add, but not terribly important until WiFi debugging arrives. Since a physical connection with a USB cable is currently required, the origin of a debugging connection is pretty obvious.

Cleared the security flag accidentally... feel free to reset if you really feel this should be hidden still.

Anyway, the issue was fixed in bug 1127004, where FxOS now shows:

Allow USB debugging connection?

or

Allow remote debugging connection from {{host}}:{{port}}?

as appropriate.
