914153 - We're losing the connection while we try to connect to Wi-Fi, whereas we should keep it until we connect

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox OS Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Julien Wajsberg [:julienw]]

STR:
* be connected on 3G
* connect on a Wi-Fi network
* while it's connecting, try to visit a website

Expected:
* I should be able to visit the website

Actual:
* there is no connection until the device is connected to the Wi-Fi network

We're maybe disconnecting the 3G connection too soon.

Also, maybe we should not remove the existing interface and route while there is an open connection, or restart/retry these connections on the new interface, so that the user does not see any disruption.

The 3G connection will be disconnected and the default route will be modified when Wi-Fi network is in connected state. See below. You should be able to browse the internet while Wi-Fi is in connecting state.

What happens for existing connections when the default route is modified ? Are they cut ? Are they timing out ?

Not going to use the madai flag, bumping to 1.5? for triage.

I would say this isn't a critical problem. It is good for user experience if we fix this bug. But device changes the network interface while accessing the internet, the disconnecting situation is definitely happened.
