Re: ACTION-357: Network Connection API draft

Hi Suresh,

It might also be good to define a NetworkChangeEvent that allows a web 
app to be notified whenever the current connection type changes.

Something as follows:


[NoInterfaceObject]
interface NetworkChangeEvent : Event {
     readonly attribute unsigned short        type;
     void initBatteryStatusEvent (in DOMString type, in boolean bubbles, 
in boolean cancelable, in unsigned short type);
};

If an event listener is registered with the event type 'networkchange', 
then the User Agent MUST dispatch a NetworkChangeEvent event 
immediately. User Agents SHOULD dispatch a NetworkChangeEvent event 
whenever the connection type changes.


There should be no issues regarding the Security and Privacy 
considerations with the interfaces currently in the spec and above. Did 
you have any thoughts on what you wanted to include in that section?
