This API is available on Firefox OS for privileged or certified applications only.
Summary
The onerror
property is used to specify a callback handler to deal with errors from the server socket. This callback is called each time the listen of a server socket is aborted.
The data
attribute of the event object passed to the onerror
handler is a string describing the error.
Syntax
instanceOfTCPServerSocket.onerror = funcRef
Where funcRef
is a function to be called on errors.
This callback function will get an event object as its first parameter with a data
property which is a string.
Example
var server = navigator.mozTCPSocket.listen(-1); server.onerror = function (evt) { var error = evt.data; console.warn(error); }
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.
