So, what I have: My development Xperia 10 I, does not have any SIM card inserted. I do just use my WIFI. In this scenario the above mentioned behavior can be observed.
A different device with a SIM card inserted and connected to the same WIFI with the same routing table, allows different daemon users to make outbound connections (http/api).
What does the connection manager do differently here? It seems like a regression bug. Any hints?
