Hello WebKit folks,
I'd like to introduce new feature - Network Information API. This feature is to provide an interface for Web Applications to access the underlying network information of device. In Web Application case, they need to know what current network interface it uses. Because, it is important to know current network backbone(wifi, 3g, 4G and so on) in mobile domain. Thus, Web Application can let user know whether current network bearer is 3G or wifi via this new functionality. In addition, in streaming service case, Web Application can control content resolution according to kind of network.
Spec : http://www.w3.org/TR/netinfo-api/
I file a bug for this feature. Bug 73528. (https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=73528). However, submitted patch is still prototype. I will improve the submitted patch according to advices or opinions.
Cheers,
Gyuyoung.
