Hi,
Based on the questions I got related to the presentation ( http://www.w3.org/wiki/WebIntents/SonyMobile_-_Local_Network_Service_Discovery ) and demo ("Light bulb discovery and control) that I showed at the ongoing Shenzhen meeting I would like to clarify how I envision the browser's UPnP support should look like.
The "Light bulb" demo was run in the Chrome browser and we use a upnp plugin that provides a JS API . We are also experimenting with a similar API for the Android browser. This API provides a UPnP/SSDP search method with three parameters, service type, success callback and error callback. The success callback is invoked for each UPnP/SSDP service discovered or lost and all contains the received SSDP M-Search response headers. From the LOCATION header the Device/Service description document could be retrieved. Subsequent control communication with the service device is then performed by the Web Intents Client page or Service page (depending on UX and Service implementation solution used) through xhr or web sockets.
The "Light bulb" demo is implemented according the philosophy according to the 3rd option in my presentation, i.e. the Client page talks over postMessage with simple JSON commands, "toggle on/of", to the Service Page, which then sends UPnP commands to the "Light bulb" device.
Best regards
Claes
