 +====== SSDP announcer for UPnP/DLNA ======
 +- a program for announcing the network UPnP/DLNA devices.\\
 +Announcements are sent using IPv4 and IPv6 on the special multicast address.\\
  
 +SSDP announcer allows you announce on your LAN any UPnP / DLNA server located on the Internet, another network segment.\\
 +
 +UPnP - based on the SSDP announcements for automatic detection of available devices on the local network, and HTTP to communicate with devices it has found.\\
 +In HTTP, the data is transmitted using XML-SOAP.\\
 +
 +Archive with SSDP announcer contains implementation UPnP / DLNA server on nginx and PHP.\\
 +Nginx takes on work with http, php script processes the XML-SOAP requests from client devices.\\
 +The script allows browsing through the file system and access to the media which is to be found.\\
 +
 +Thanks SSDP announcer can write your own UPnP / DLNA server on any scripting language, which is able to work nginx.\\
 +
 +
 +===== Supported OS =====
 +  * FreeBSD
 +  * Linux
 +
 +
 +===== How it works =====
 +UPnP clients (eg DLNA for android, VLC under Linux etc), listen to the network multicast announcements and periodically send queries themselves to receive announcements.\\
 +Announcements represent a IPv4 / IPv6 multicast UDP packets with HTTP format for content. Requests are sent directly to the announcer.\\
 +Announcement contains:
 +  * UUID - unique device ID;
 +  * type devices advertised;
 +  * services offered device;
 +  * URL for by HTTP-GET XML file detailing the devices and links to XML files, a description of its services.\\
 +
 +SSDPd requires specify on which interfaces to work out what URL announce and XML file describing the device.\\
 +In this work SSDPd ends. Everything else happens communication client to the server via HTTP.\\
 +
 +Client after receiving announcements if he was interested in the type of UPnP devices on the HTTP-GET takes the XML file from the announcement of the URL, parses it, then picks up the XML files describing services.\\
 +XML files are static, attached examples in the distribution.\\
 +
 +After parsing the XML files the client accesses the services by URL specified in XML files using HTTP, using the methods: POST, SUBSCRIBE, UNSUBSCRIBE.\\
 +In a simple case (for a minimum of the functional) processing HTTP request methods SUBSCRIBE, UNSUBSCRIBE amount to granting the 200 + a pair of additional headers this can easily cope nginx.\\
 +
 +==== Multicast addresses ====
 +  * 239.255.255.250:1900
 +  * [FF02::C]:1900 - link local scope
 +  * [FF05::C]:1900 - site local scope
