18749 2012-08-31 05:34:29 +0000 Why removing exception throwing from binaryType 2012-09-28 03:23:24 +0000 1 1 1 Unclassified WebAppsWG WebSocket API (editor: Ian Hickson) unspecified PC Windows NT RESOLVED WONTFIX P2 normal --- 1 tyoshino ian ian mike Ms2ger public-webapps public-webapps-bugzilla oldest_to_newest 73094 0 tyoshino 2012-08-31 05:34:29 +0000 https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=18416 IIUC, this change means that program with bug that is substituting wrong value to binaryType will be no longer warned by an exception. Is there any benefit of enum making this change worth? 73095 1 zcorpan 2012-08-31 07:54:38 +0000 Wrong values throw TypeError per WebIDL. 73096 2 tyoshino 2012-08-31 07:58:28 +0000 Yes for function. Is it true for assignment too? Example here says it's ignored. http://dev.w3.org/2006/webapi/WebIDL/#idl-enums 73097 3 zcorpan 2012-08-31 08:18:51 +0000 That non-normative example seems wrong. http://dev.w3.org/2006/webapi/WebIDL/#es-enumeration says to throw. 73099 4 Ms2ger 2012-08-31 08:40:46 +0000 But <http://dev.w3.org/2006/webapi/WebIDL/#es-attributes> has a special case. The reason to do this is to be consistent with the other enumerated attributes in the platform. 74706 5 ian 2012-09-28 03:23:02 +0000 Yeah, the plan here is to be consistent with other things in the platform. 74707 6 ian 2012-09-28 03:23:24 +0000 (Good browsers can give a warning in their consoles, btw.)
