What is this type=0 about?

[Felix Dahlke, 2015/02/19 13:40:22]

How I understood it, this means it's an automatic update check, 1 would mean
it's a manual one. Haven't really looked into how to figure that out here
frankly, would it be horrible to hard code automatic for now?

[Wladimir Palant, 2015/02/23 12:32:24]

Yes, that's what I remembered as well which is why I was surprised to see this
parameter hardcoded.
Should we send this parameter at all if its value would be bogus?

[Felix Dahlke, 2015/02/23 22:24:00]

Yeah that's a good point, I've removed it.

Technically speaking, isn't this Adblock Plus for Firefox running in Adblock
Browser? Meaning:

addonName=adblockplus
addonVersion=2.6.7
applicationName=adblockbrowser
applicationVersion=AppConstants.MOZ_APP_VERSION
platform=gecko
platformVersion=AppConstants.MOZILLA_VERSION

IMHO that's the parameters we are really interested in, sending OS info is
optional - can be done via some new parameters.

[Felix Dahlke, 2015/02/19 13:40:22]

No, it's Adblock Browser's update mechanism, just incidentally using the same
format as ABP update requests. We're interested in Adblock Browser's version and
platform here, so we can offer the proper APKs. 

The parameter names make similarly little sense as with ABP for Android, since
it's not an addon of any kind. But I thought it's easier to work with the data
if it's in the same format as everything else. Do you think it'd make more sense
to just stick with Mozilla's format here?

[Felix Dahlke, 2015/02/19 22:21:58]

Note that we probably want to go with your variant for the
notification/subscription update requests happening from within ABP itself -
otherwise we can't distinguish between Adblock Browser users and ABP for Firefox
users.

This request here is for devbuild updates of the browser though, so I don't see
why it should pretend to be from ABP.

[Wladimir Palant, 2015/02/23 12:32:24]

Fair enough. Still, the platform should be "gecko" rather than "mozilla".

[Felix Dahlke, 2015/02/23 22:24:00]

Done.
