To: linux-bluetooth@vger.kernel.org Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Sender: linux-bluetooth-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: As the chromium team is building and testing the Web Bluetooth API to let websites discover and interact with nearby Bluetooth devices (https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2015/07/interact-with-ble-devices-on-the-web) I would love to be able to access the Device Information Service characteristics such as Serial Number String, Hardware Revision String and so forth. Sadly, from what I understood, this is not achievable for now on Chromeboooks since Bluez comes with the deviceinfo plugin enabled by default. I do wonder now what would be the implications of disabling the deviceinfo plugin? You will find more information at https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=532930 Thank you in advance, Francois - a daily Bluez user.
