Hi,

I intent to implement an extension to nsIDOMMozICCManager.

When unlocking a SIM card, there is a maximum number of remaining tries. The new interface 'getCardLockRetryCount' will allow for reading the number of remaining tries for a specific lock. During the unlock process, an app can display this information to the user, probably in conjunction with a descriptive message (e.g, 'You have 3 tries left.').

interface nsIDOMMozIccManager {
  ...
  nsIDOMDOMRequest getCardLockRetryCount(in DOMString lockType);
  ...
};

The parameter 'lockType' is a string that names the lock. The result is a DOM request. On success, it returns the number of retries in its result property; on error it returns a error name. An error happens if the given lock type is not known or not supported by the implementation.

There is more detailed documentation in bug 875710, comments 17 and 18 [1].

Any feedback and suggestions are welcome.

Best regards
Thomas
