Hi,

thank you very much for your request. I need to review it first. Unfortunately, I don't have any firefoxos device (I'll try some emulator), but I thing I can merge it with our master branch, as experimental support for firefoxos.

I have one question for now. You left comment in firefoxos/SocketProxy.js file, that we should modify config.xml. Could you modify that file?

Hi,

I try to modify config.xml, Add below setting:

then I build my demo-app

$ cordova platform add firefoxos $ cordova build firefoxos

and check app/platforms/firefoxos/www/manifest.webapp

permissions settings not be add to manifest.webapp :disappointed:

we need permission setting like below to enable tcp-socket: "type": "privileged", "permissions": { "tcp-socket": { "description" : "Create TCP sockets and communicate over them." } },

I add them to manifest.webapp manually. How to make Cordova do this automatically? Does I make something wrong in my config.xml?

I found some issue here: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-9407
