Since no one mentioned it, I just wanted to make sure this thread is aware
of the Network Information API [1], which provides
navigator.connection.bandwidth
It's been recently implemented (to some degree) in both Mozilla [2] and
Webkit [3].
As far as I can tell, the Mozilla implementation always returns Infinity for
.bandwidth.
And this is perfectly compliant, since the spec says:
The user agent must set the value of the bandwidth attribute to:
0 if the user is currently offline;
Infinity if the bandwidth is unknown;
an estimation of the current bandwidth in MB/s (Megabytes
per seconds) available for communication with the browsing
context active document's domain.
If no one is planning on implementing this feature in a meaningful way,
why is it in the spec?
(yes I know this is not exactly the right list).
