TCPServerSocket.onconnect

Summary

The onconnect property is used to specify a callback handler to deal with new incoming connections. This callback is called each time a client connection is accepted.

The data attribute of the event object passed to the onconnect handler is a TCPSocket instance, which is used for communication between client and server.

Syntax

instanceOfTCPServerSocket.onconnect = funcRef

Where funcRef is a function to be called on any new incoming connection.

This callback function will get an event object as its first parameter with a data property, which is a TCPSocket object.

Example

var server = navigator.mozTCPSocket.listen(-1);

server.onconnect = function (socket) {
  socket.send('Welcome to this App');
}

Specification

Not part of any specification yet; however, this API is discussed at W3C as part of the System Applications Working Group under the Raw Sockets proposal.
