While testing DRM FL support with v1.3 branch: Device: hamachi v1.3 (2/11 build) BuildId: 20140211065801 Gecko: 06f88fa Gaia: 00cd1ae Platform: v28.0 We have seen the following behavior depending on how the content is offered: *OMA download based on a descriptor file (dd) - OK The content is downloaded, user can open it and it fails when trying to forward it (expected behavior) *Direct link to protected content - KO ... <a href=“http://www.server.com/drm/xxx.dm”>DRM content link</a> ... The content is downloaded to the SD card but cannot be opened and no message is shown to the user ni to David in order to confirm direct link support in the current implementation. Thanks!

There is no support for direct links to DM files in the current implementation. From my reading of the OMA Download specification I did not think that was a requirement. What is the behavior you would expect in this case? And why would any vendor expose direct links to .dm files? Direct downloads would not report errors or installation success, which would make customer billing impossible, wouldn't it?

Hi, TEF BUs offer the content through direct link so we would need this method to be supported. The current implementation is like not having DRM support due to the way the content is offered so it will cause an issue during the certification process. Because of this asking for 1.3?. ni to David in order to confirm the feasibility for adding this support in v1.3. Thanks!

Based on Comment 1: This looks like a new requirement. Please help us understand the requirement so we can decide if this can be taken up or not. Right now, this does seem impossible to take in 1.3. Will move it to 1.4 for now.
blocking-b2g: 1.3? → 1.4?
When this feature was being planned, we gathered product requirements from two other carriers, but as far as I know, TEF was not involved in the planning process. The feature has been available and ready for testing for 4 months or more, so it is frustrating to see requests like this come up so late in the cycle. Setting needinfo for Adam to loop him in on this issue. I have to agree with Jason that this is a feature request, not a bug, and I really don't think this is something that Mozilla can hold the release for. So I think it is unlikely that this will be marked 1.3+. Furthermore, the Media team is already fully committed for the 1.4 release and cannot take on any new features. Does TEF have any developers who could work on this? I'd be happy to offer pointers to help them get started. The difficulty I see in supporting direct links to forward locked files is that I don't know what the UX should be. With the two step download process via .dd files, the user sees a confirmation dialog that displays content metadata (name, type, vendor, etc.) notifies them that the content they are downloading is locked, and gives them the opportunity to cancel the download before paying. To me, this is an important user-centric feature of Mozilla's implementation. If it was just a matter of doing direct downloads of .dm files through this same confirmation step, that would be technically straightforward. I don't know how you handle billing in the direct download case, but I'm assuming that by the time the user has clicked on the link to the .dm file, they've already paid for the content, so offering a cancel option doesn't do any good. But I really don't like the idea of installing locked content on the user's phone without notifying the user properly. If you know what UX you want in this case, and have developers who can implement that, we can offer guidance. I think it is fair for me to say that the forward lock app (apps/fl/) is not something that Mozilla considers a core feature of the OS. We created it to help meet urgent partner needs, and to demonstrate that forward lock can be securely implemented at the Gaia level without adding any DRM primitives to Gecko. All along, we expected that partners would customize it to meet their specific needs. (But I'm sorry that we completely missed your specific need for direct links to .dm files!)

With current approach, that is not going to be case as the current DRM implementation is useless for them. What carriers are going to receive is different to what they expect, in a feature they have been requesting for about 9 months... this is going to be difficult or impossible to handle. > Furthermore, the Media team is already fully committed for the 1.4 release > and cannot take on any new features. > > Does TEF have any developers who could work on this?

For me, the most important thing right now is implementing this for whatever version it is. Obviously, if the risk is low, I would prefer it to land it for 1.3. If that is not possible, a workaround would be handling the patch over to OEMs so they patch their versions: as I pointed out, I am really concerned not supporting this is going to cause the rejection of the device during IOT.

I don't think it is "just downloading" though. Something has to happen on the screen when the user clicks on a link to a .dm file. What should that be? Is it suitable in this case to display the same confirmation dialog that we do for the .dd case? If so, that will probably simplify the implementation considerably. At a minimum, for audio files, we'll need UX asking the user whether it is a ringtone or a song, since those two cases are handled separately. > > Key concept here is that most of this content is not pay-per-item but > all-you-can-eat, so users can download any item from the store as it is > included as part of their subscription. > It is helpful to know that.

FYI to Daniel - I've pinged the product team offline about this. They are going to followup with you offline on this to discuss this more.
1.4 has moved to a model where we're only blocking on features that are either: 1. DSDS 1.4 required features 2. QC feature complete blockers On that regard, this feature doesn't hit either of those two criteria, so this isn't a blocker.

Carmen, I'm happy that you've got something that works for you. I'll look at this as soon as I can, but expect to have a lot of high-priority reviews this week, so it might be a while before I can get back to you on it.
As I am tracking this bug for Marketplace and content partners I just wanted to ask a couple of questions to ensure I understand: 1. This only affects forward-lock ringtones (not non-forward lock ringtones?)? Is that a correct understanding? 2. As a result, users will not be able to install Forward-lock ringtones until this bug lands? 3. This is out-of-scope for 1.4? Thanks

There are two ways to expose Forward Lock protected content: 1/ Via a Descriptor File that points to the Download itself. The device downloads first the descriptor that contains metadata and information about the download file. 2/ Exposing the download file directly Currently FFOS just supports 1, and unfortunately this is not enough for TEF (cannot speak on behalf of other operators) > 3. This is out-of-scope for 1.4? That is not my call, but it seems currently it is. We are working directly with OEMs so they can apply directly the patches attached to this bug. > Thanks
David, could you please provide feedback to the proposed patch? We had executed the certification process with it and it passed our testing. Our target is to land this feature in master soon.

Comment on attachment 8384532 [details] Proposed patch Sorry that it has taken me so long to look this over. I've left a lot of comments on the github commit. Most of my comments are about ways to make the changes clearer. I have not tried actually running the code yet (if you create a PR, I'll try running it) so I don't understand what you're doing with the HTML changes... From the code it looks to me like you're displaying two different titles and progress indicators when downloading, which doesn't seem right. Also the confirmOrPreview() function seems very confusing, and I'd like to have that code simplified before we land this.

Comment on attachment 8429970 [details] V2, including previous review comments Looking good to me the DM part. Left some suggestions in github to try to make it a bit more versatile and be sure than in the future we don't shoot ourself on the foot. Also could be nice to have unit tests for this, could be attached to the settings app where we use this shared component. Thanks, F.

Comment on attachment 8429970 [details] V2, including previous review comments I don't understand the integration between the download manager and the fl app here. Are there UX specs for how this is supposed to work? Will the dd+xml type still go directly to the fl app? Will direct download always go through the download manager and then be transferred to the fl app? The code makes it look like sometimes it might go through the download manager and sometimes not, which confuses me. I've left various comments on github. The main one, and the reason for the r-, is that using the view activity to pass locked content from the download manager to the fl app violates locking and exposes the locked content to any app that implements a view activity for that type. Is download manager integration really necessary here? Can we have direct downloads always go through the FL app as in the previous version of the patch? That would avoid the problem.

I see that the patches in 1021156 landed yesterday. I have flashed a nightly build created after those patches landed, but can't get my test cases (at http://djf.net/drmtests/) to invoke the FL app. They are still going to the download manager. So I'm not able to test and review the patch here yet.
I've verified that the .dd files from djf.net/drmtests/ are being served with the correct Content-Type header. Antonio: are the patches from 1021156 working for you?
Flags: needinfo?(amac)
Yes. Then again I've only tested them with dm files. The content disposition header is only ignored for dm files but the view activity should be registered for both. Bar that. I've just rechecked and there's one contract missing on B2Gmanifest. And so only the dm files are registered. Can you file a bug with that and assign it to me? I'll do it first thing in the morning (it's just adding a contract line to that file...). Sorry about that.

I created bug 1028042 to reenable the support for DD files also. I'm testing DM file download using a small node script, that's available at https://github.com/AntonioMA/omadrmserver. With the patch in bug1028042 applied the DD files from http://djf.net/drmtests work perfectly also.

Comment on attachment 8429970 [details] V2, including previous review comments Thanks for all your work on this, Antionio. The code looks good and seems to work in all my testing. Let's get this landed. The FL app has never really been subject to much UX review at all, and it shows. One issue with direct downloads in this version of the app is that when you download an image, the user is shown an image preview and an "Install" button, but nothing tells them that the image is going to be installed as wallpaper. In some contexts this might be perfectly clear, but in others it could be quite confusing. If TEF cares about this, it is something that could be improved for 2.1. Similarly, I'd love it if there was a step in the direct download process where the user saw the "locked content advisory" string that tells them that they will not be allowed to share the media file. But neither of those things need to happen for this bug. For now we're just trying to acheive parity with what TEF shipped privately with the 1.3 release.

Comment on attachment 8429970 [details] V2, including previous review comments I'd like to uplift this to 2.0. It is required for certification by TEFs operators. TEF has already shipped a version of this patch as part of their 1.3 tree. Originally we thought there were going to be new strings in this patch, but it turned out that they were not needed, so that should make this easier to uplift.

Travis isn't passing but it's a couple of unrelated fails on the homescreen... I believe we can check in this (specially since at least one of those failures has appeared before, and it doesn't touch anything outside of the FL app). I would have relaunched the Travis to see if the error goes away (as it shoud) but turns out that you can only do that if you have commit permissions on Gaia, which I don't :).
I'm going to take a look to the tests that fail (which seem to be homescreen related) but requesting checkin for this also since I don't think they're related with this patch in any form.
