zeroconf

I'm trying to test the ZeroConf sample at http://www.mono-project.com/Mono.Zeroconf . I'm running OpenSuse 11 and Mono 2.2. My server code is: using System; using Mono.Zeroconf; namespace zeroconftestserver { class MainClass { public static void Main(string[] args) { RegisterService service = new RegisterService (); service.Name = "test server"; service.RegType = "_daap._tcp"; service.ReplyDomain = "local."; service.Port = 6060; // TxtRecords are optional TxtRecord txt_record = new TxtRecord (); txt_record.Add ("Password", "false"); service.TxtRecord = txt_record; service.Register(); Console

On iPhone if I create custom service for example "_test._tcp.local." in Bonjour I can seek/broadcast this service through WiFi or/and Bluetooth. It is possible on Android ? I know that there is jmDNS but from what I understand it works only through WiFi/Network, not Bluetooth. Thanks EDIT by Seva Alekseyev, who offered the bounty: I'm not after workarounds (like Zeroconf sans Bluetooth or Bluetooth sans Zeroconf). I'm after the real thing. Not on bluetooth, because Android currently doesn't support TCP/IP over bluetooth, and Android's native NSD support ( network service discovery ) works over

I have a development webserver hosting as "myhost.local" which is found using Bonjour/mDNS. The server is running avahi-daemon. The webserver also wants to handle any subdomains of itself. Eg "cat.myhost.local" and "dog.myhost.local" and "guppy.myhost.local". Given that myhost.local is on a dynamic ip address from dhcp, is there still a way to route all requests for the subdomains to myhost.local? I'm starting to think it not currently possible... http://marc.info/?l=freedesktop-avahi&m=119561596630960&w=2 You can do this with the /etc/avahi/hosts file. Alternatively you can use avahi-publish

I see that lwIP has some AutoIP (aka IPv4LL, aka RFC 3927 ) code, but I can't tell if it does anything higher up in the Zeroconf stack, namely mDNS and DNS-SD (with RFC 2782 ). So, does lwIP support DNS-SD service discovery? If not, would it be easy to port code from a project like Avahi that does (assuming licensing allows it)? No, lwIP does not support any part of Zeroconf except AutoIP. I've not looked at Avahi but porting Apples mDNSResponder to lwIP is quite straightforward. There is one bit of nastiness where you have to pull back the pbuf headers to access the IP header to get the

So its a longshot, I'll start with that. Is it/could it be possible to discover bonjour advertised HTTP services in javascript alone? Why would this be useful? Imagine a local service looking after some data (eg your current lat/long), the data is exposed via a webservice and advertised by Bonjour Zeroconf. A (remote) website might want to know your current lat/long and rather than having to know you're running MyGPSserverVersion2 the site could use javascript to search the local bonjour for _Compatible_location_services._tcp and then continue once it had an IP address. If this is impossible
