Proposed API Change ( was delayed authentication )

[Willem Dantuma]

Hi,

After not getting much response to my previous mail, i dug into it
myself and found dbus_bus_get blocking in dbus_bus_register. So i would
like to propose a change to the curent API.

Something like this:

conn=dbus_bus_get(DBUS_BUS_ACTIVATION,&error) or
conn=dbus_connection_open(address,&error)


dbus_connection_set_username(&conn,username)
dbus_connection_set_password(&conn,password)
dbus_connection_set_sasl_prop(&conn,...)
......
dbus_connection_start(&conn)  /* takes care of authenticating, TLS etc
*/
dbus_bus_register(&conn) 


or maybe in the bus case:

conn=dbus_bus_get(DBUS_BUS_ACTIVATION,&error,argv,argc)



Comments ??
