1244299 - Implement FlyWeb Routing Abstraction for MDNS services

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Networking, defect)

Description

[Kannan Vijayan [:djvj]]

When the browser establishes a "session" (not a HTTP session, but a logical FlyWeb session) with a discovered service, it should assign a UUID-based name to the session, and route URLs containing that UUID as their host, to the appropriate service.

This involves messing with nsISocketTransportService and nsISocketTransport implementations to route URLS with FlyWeb-UUID hosts to a different target than what would normally be done when a host is assumed to refer to an internet domain.

Attachment: 1-make-connect-to-service-async.patch

This patch changes the "connectToService" internal API call to operate asynchronously (accepting a callback) instead of just returning the connection object.

Attachment: 2-add-list-connected-services.patch

Adds a listConnectedServices method to the internal API that lets us list all the connected FlyWeb services from gecko.

Comment 3

[Kannan Vijayan [:djvj]]

Attachment: 3-transport-layer-abstraction.patch

This patch is the bulk of the work.  It changes nsSocketTransportService2, nsSocketTransport2, and FlyWebConnectedService to let gecko bypass normal DNS lookup when connecting to FlyWeb-UUID hosts.

Attachment: 1-make-connect-to-service-async.patch

Re-uploading patch for new patchset update (only the last patch is new).

Comment 6

[Kannan Vijayan [:djvj]]

Attachment: 3-name-routing-abstraction.patch

Renamed this patch to reflect its contents better.

Comment 7

[Kannan Vijayan [:djvj]]

Attachment: 4-reuse-connected-services.patch

This makes it so that when we connect twice to the same service, we re-use the ConnectedService objects already established from the previous connection.

These are landed.
