I regularly access Windows domains that have been set up to use a domain under the .local top level name. This conflicts with Bonjour/Zeroconf which reserves .local for it's own use. A number of platforms support Bonjour out of the box (including Mac OS, iPhone, and Ubuntu) and there's numerous name resolution issues when this confict oc...
Is there a ZeroConf client extension for Firefox/XULRunner to be used in a zeroConf environment based on either mDNS or SLP? I know of an extension already that's being developed by the ActiveState Open Komodo folks but it requires PyXPCOM support to be baked into the XULRunner runtime in order to access the Apple Bonjour libs for Windo...
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...
I have a machine running avahi-daemon on Ubuntu Jaunty. It's currently responding to requests for itself on hostname.local, but I would like it to run a webapp that ends up publishing MDNS addresses for other hosts which aren't on the local network. I would like for these to be in a subdomain of .local, if possible. Right now, if I edit...
I have a rather popular Bonjour-based application in App Store. It works perfectly, but around 0.2% of my users report a bizarre bug: "no arrows appear on the edges of the screen, so I can't share stuff with other people!". Needless to say, displaying these arrows is tied to the browsing of a particular Bonjour service on the local domai...
It seems to me that a lot of the problems with DNS, particularly security problems, have the root cause of DNS being implemented over UDP; for example the responder doesn't have to be who he says he is. I don't know the details of mDNS protocol (which I assume is much newer than DNS), maybe it takes care of these problems in its applica...
I would like to query the mdns database of avahi-daemon through HTTP. Is there a way to do this? ...
Has anyone successfully built the dnssd gem on Windows? I get the following error when trying to build the c extension: C:\Users\Charles>gem install dnssd -- --with-dnssd-dir=c:/progra~1/bonjou~1 --with-dnssd-lib=c:/progra~1/bonjou~1/lib/win32 Building native extensions. This could take a while... ERROR: Error installing dnssd: ...
Hi there. I'm new to net-mdns and mDNS in general, so I have just a basic understanding of how the protocol works for now, and I hope the question is pretty self-explanatory. So far I've seen some examples of how to advertise a service with net-mdns, but what I really need is to broadcast a hostname alias, so that my machine can be reso...
Hi, I don't like the title of this question but i couldn't come with anything better. I'm building a client using dns-sd api from Bonjour. I notice that there is a flag called kDNSServiceFlagsShareConnection that it is used to share the connection of one DNSServiceRef. Apple site says For efficiency, clients that perform many con...
