Yes, so perhaps that is something services should offer. That they're not suggests this might not be as big of a need as we make it out to be. Or perhaps email applications should be distributed together with the email server (already quite common, though currently they're not exactly great applications) so the liabilities are tied. Trying to figure out how to get sockets and "systemXHR" into the browser has been going on for a very long time now, I think we should start embracing that it's unlikely to happen and look elsewhere. -- https://annevankesteren.nl/ _______________________________________________ dev-b2g mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-b2g
