Hi list !
While working on the oscit library I came upon a difficult problem:
How to specify absolute urls to an arbitrary remote location ?
There are four cases to this problem:
1. we can resolve IP for the remote host and we know the port number
2. we can resolve IP for the remote host but we do not know the port number
===> we have a problem if multiple oscit devices run on the same machine (see below)
3. we do not know the port and/or ip (local network)
"name of service entity"/path/to/resource
===> oscit will use zeroconf to find "name of service entity" responding to _oscit._udp protocol.
4. we can resolve IP for the remote host and want to specify entity name
oscit://example.org/"name of service entity"/path/to/resource
This means oscit would resolve the following url formats:
foo/bar (relative, same application)
/foo/bar (absolute, same application)
"some device"/foo/bar (service on local network)
oscit://example.org/"some device"/foo/bar (far remote, unknown port, using specific service from SRV records)
Please tell me if you feel there is something wrong with any of these urls...
