Queries Related to Connman and Session Management
Hi Zheng, First, Thanks for your valuable opinions. Hi Lewis, I'm tester for connman and below are my humble opinions. Hello all, I am new to connman mailing list. For the better understanding of connman, i tested it with the python scripts which are available in the test folder. I have few question regarding connman, test-scripts and session management. 1) There is a latest release of connman-0.77. Which is more stable - connman-0.76 or connman-0.77, with respect to wifi functionality. 2) For creating a session in manager-api.txt, it is mentioned that : every application should atleast create one session to inform about its requirements and purpose Which application does it means? Because, if i open a Firefox(application), then there is no session created by it. Can anyone please give example of what type of application is this? Firefox needs call connman session API to support connman session. Did you mean that Firefox calls session-api to use a connman session? Because firefox just need an active interface, either it is ethernet, wifi or other, which is provided by Connman as a connection manager. But how firefox will call connman session API? 3) There is a Unit Test Framework in unit folder for test session. How to test that? 4) Also, there is a Python Script : test-session , which requires an application path. As mentioned in link, http://lists.connman.net/pipermail/connman/2011-April/004518.html;, at application path, it is provided with a /foo. What and where is this foo application? 5) In session-api.txt, there is a net.connman.Notification interface, with two methods. One of which is - Update : what exactly it does? On every session creation this method is called once to inform about the current settings. To whom it inform? I mean where it updates the settings? I think a test example might help. # Run following commands in 1st console 1. test-session enable # Enable session mode, this will disconnect all networks 2. test-session run /foo # The test-session application will use /foo as application path # run following connmands in 2nd console 3. test-session create /foo # Create a session in test-session application at step 2, you will see initial session property values in console 1 through net.connman.Notification.Update. 4. test-session connect /foo # Connect to a service, you will see IPv4 updated in console 1. Regarding this foo application, can i use any other available applications or it is the only specific application for that purpose? Because i am not aware what application it is. And if it is specific one, then how should i get that application? Best Regards Lewis ___ connman mailing list connman@connman.net http://lists.connman.net/listinfo/connman

I.e. firefox needs code changes in order to use ConnMan's Session API. Of course firefox can passively wait for some other application (supporting ConnMan's Session API) requesting a session to be connected. After ConnMan has created the network connection, firefox can use it normally. Do notice that by default ConnMan starts with session mode disabled and thus ConnMan automatically connects the best network available.
