8039 - Necko needs to support offline use

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core :: Networking, defect, P3)

Description

[David :Bienvenu]

Necko needs to support an offline mode in which it doesn't make new tcp
connections, and makes urls which attempt to make a new tcp connection fail
gracefully. Please see me for as much more info as you need.

I think Jud was thinking about this...

Comment 3

Changing all Networking Library/Browser bugs to Networking-Core component for
Browser.

Occasionally, Bugzilla will burp and cause Verified bugs to reopen when I do
this in a bulk change.  If this happens, I will fix. ;-)

We discussed adding an nsIIOService::SetOffline/GetOffline attribute that the
socket transport would honor. Jud, if you want, I'll take this bug....

Comment 9

[Warren Harris]

I added nsIIOService::GetOffline/SetOffline. Give it a try.

Comment 10

[Paul MacQuiddy]

is there a pref or something similar I can set to test this out, or do I need to
wait til some xpapp guy implements something

Comment 11

[Warren Harris]

We have to wait to the xpapps guys set it. I don't know if there's a bug for
that or not, so you might want to reopen this and reassign.

I see some mail/news bugs assigned re: offline use. I'm sure David will speak up
if he has problems so I'll mark this verified for completeness sake.
