876170 - TCPSocket Manifest values are not documented

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Developer Documentation Graveyard :: Firefox OS, defect)

Description

[tofumatt [:tofumatt]]

A developer at a hack day in Montreal wanted to use the TCP Socket API, but https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/TCPSocket details how to use the TCP Sockets and mentions that a host and port must be specified for it to work. Certified apps may not need this as I noticed email is missing it, but he could not get sockets to work despite an otherwise sane-looking setup.

Do TCP sockets still require specifying a host and port? If so, what is the format? It is not documented on that page or any page it links to that I could find.

Hi,

The introductory article is more up to date: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/WebAPI/TCP_Socket

The reference documentation needs some clean up (which should be done by end of June)
