Protocols

• Growl Network Protocol Format
  • UDP default port 9887, must be enabled in System Preferences
• Growl Notification Transport Protocol (GNTP) - v1.0
  • Supported by Growl for Windows and Snarl, but not by Growl.
  • jgntp - Java implementation of the Growl Notification Transport Protocol
  • libgrowl - Java implementation of GNTP, the Growl Network Transport Protocol. This library allows your Java application to send notifications to Growl.
• Snarl Network Protocol (SNP) 1.0
  • 1.0 is likely outdated but I can't find the 1.1/2.0 Specification of the protocol anywhere.
