I have been looking a bit at openobex (I need it for another project)
and I would like to have it using non-blocking sockets when doing
connects. Would I be right in assuming that this would be needed if we
were to implement a dbus service for obex as well? Unless we want the
dbus-obex-daemon to be multi threaded, and that gives me strange
feelings in the stomach. At least that's not the way hcid is made,
i.e. it uses non blocking sockets when doing sdp connections, am I
right?

I'm asking because I'm going to ask the openobex developers to accept
a patch which adds the possibility to use non blocking sockets for
connections (like sdp_lib can in bluez), and if I could say that it's
required for a d-bus service, it would add a bit of weight to my
arguments.

What do you think?
