#17 Support for Universal Plug and Play

[Markus Elfring]

Would you like to offer an UPnP interface to your server as a
plugin?

How
do you think about to support this standard with a library?

This is currently not planned. UPnP looks like a typical server
extension and could be realized as a plugin (e.g. the existing
Servlet and JSP engines are simple plugins). It is also
thinkable, to write a wrapper for an existing library (as I did
with libxml2 and libxslt for the XSL processing extension).
What do you think about founding a UPnP related sub-
project? Would you join?
