What does browserConnectionEnabled capability mean?

Question

I wonder what does browserConnectionEnabled capability param means. It is used in in chromedriver http://code.google.com/p/chromium/source/search?q=browserConnectionEnabled&origq=browserConnectionEnabled&btnG=Search+Trunk and is explained as "Whether the session can query for the browser's connectivity and disable it if desired.". But I dont understand what does it realy do.

Answer 1

It's used in mobile drivers where the state of connectivity can be manipulated (e.g. for testing offline web apps). As far as I know his is only available in the Android driver at the moment.
