https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=20691 Bug ID: 20691 Summary: Should createSession()'s type parameter be required? Classification: Unclassified Product: HTML WG Version: unspecified Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: Encrypted Media Extensions Assignee: adrianba@microsoft.com Reporter: ddorwin@google.com QA Contact: public-html-bugzilla@w3.org CC: mike@w3.org, public-html-media@w3.org In the January 14, 2013 version of the spec, createSession()'s |type| parameter is optional, meaning it may be null. The question is whether this makes sense. |type|'s primary purpose is as a media/MIME type to tell the CDM how to interpret the |initData|, which is container-specific. |type| was left optional in case key systems wanted to create sessions not for a specific key, or something like that. With no real world use case for this, maybe we should make it required. This also avoid null being used for some key system-specific purpose, which could lead to fragmentation. If a generally useful use case emerges, we can always make it optional in the future without breaking existing apps. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
