#52 Support for Universal Plug and Play?
Would you like to offer an UPnP interface to your server as a
plugin?
http://www.upnp.org/download/UPnPDA10_20000613.htm
How
do you think about to support this standard with a library?

Markus,
What do you believe would be the benefits or advantages of
AOLserver participating in a UPnP network? What would that
enable AOLserver to do, or do better?

The befinit is that system settings can be changed without restarting
the server. - Keep the server running all the time and round the clock
without a break.
Example use cases:
- Service Discovery in
the Future Electronic Market

- The Jini, Vision

From reading the material presented at the links you
provided, I still fail to see how this is useful for a general
purpose webserver.
Perhaps you could provide a real-world use case that you
personally would use if it were implemented. Thanks!

1. The UPnP protocol needs a web server to work with HTTP
URIs and SOAP.
A built-in Mini Web Server or a full implementation can be
used. (See programming guide in the
file "http://unc.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/upnp/libupnp-
doc-1.2.1.tar.gz".)
2. I think that a lot of servers can react to UPnP messages
itself and do not take only the position of an intermediate
communication partner.
3. Can the tutorial videos
(http://www.intel.com/technology/UPnP/tutorial.htm) help to
see the use cases?
4. Can your server cooperate with a UPnP* Internet Gateway
Device
(http://www.intel.com/update/departments/netcomm/nc010
21.pdf)?
Not enough justification for feature.
