917019 - Pass true_region and true_carrier from Fireplace to Zamboni

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Marketplace Graveyard :: API, defect, P3)

Description

[Christopher Van Wiemeersch [:cvan]]

BEFORE:

With a valid, supported SIM:

1) Fireplace looks at the MCC/MNC pair from the SIM and passes the carrier and region to Zamboni.
2) Fireplace saves the carrier and region in localStorage.
3) User can change his/her region from https://marketplace.firefox.com/settings (carrier value remains unchanged until overridden by another change in the SIM's MCC/MNC value in the future)

Without a valid SIM:

1) Zamboni sends back in a header (API-Filter) of API response which region the user should be geolocated to.
2) Fireplace saves the carrier (null) and region in localStorage.
3) User can change his/her region from https://marketplace.firefox.com/settings


AFTER:

With a valid, supported SIM:

1) Fireplace looks at the MCC/MNC pair from the SIM and passes the carrier and region to Zamboni.
2) Fireplace saves the true_carrier and true_region in localStorage.
3) User can change his/her region from https://marketplace.firefox.com/settings but the true_carrier and true_region are the values we actually look at when determining whether to show a strictly restricted app.

With a valid, supported SIM:

1) Zamboni sends back in a header (API-Filter) of API response which region the user should be geolocated to.
2) Fireplace saves the true_carrier (null) and true_region in localStorage.
3) User can change his/her region from https://marketplace.firefox.com/settings but again no effect on strictly restricted apps.

The second heading in "AFTER:" should be "Without a valid SIM:"
