Hi Paul, Thank you very much for your very detailed answer! First of all I will explain my project so you can understand better what I want to do :) My main goal is to log all privacy-related API requests (geolocation, contacts, etc..) and the apps that requested them, and show them in a Gaia app. The logging would be done from there, which is why I want to send the name of the app and the permission it requested to Gaia, so that this app can store it in IndexedDB. >From the Gecko layer I would call my custom WebIDL from the different API's I >want to monitor. For example, for the Contacts API I do this: https://github.com/spatenotte/gecko/blob/master/dom/contacts/ContactManager.js#L490 I call notifyListener(), which is a new method I defined in the same class, that would notify my WebIDL, which would send the message to Gaia. The WebIDL implementation is in this folder: https://github.com/spatenotte/gecko/tree/master/dom/privacymonitor And the corresponding .webidl file: https://github.com/spatenotte/gecko/blob/master/dom/webidl/PrivacyMonitor.webidl I think the diagram of NFC you showed me looks promising, I actually thought about registering a custom event handler, similar to "onPeerReady" and "onPeerLost" for NFC, but haven't fully understood it yet and was looking for a simpler solution :) As for the Engineering mode API, I don't really understand how it can help me, as far as I understand you have to call it manually from the Gaia app to receive the message, but in my case we can't do that since we don't know when a message (API request) will arrive.
Best, Sammy. _______________________________________________ dev-fxos mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-fxos
