Subject: NEW Issue - DPWS - clarification on accepting unicast Probe

 

Please defer discussions on this issue until a time this
issue is accepted and is assigned a number.

 

Description:

DPWS now requires (MUST) a device to support receiving a
directed Probe over HTTP at any HTTP addresses where the device endpoint is
available.

Shouldn't we also define a WELL
KNOWN port/uri combination where a device would accept a directed
Probe?

This would allow to kickstart a full DPWS conversation
knowing only the ip address of the device, as there are many different ways
(proprietary, dns, directory based...) to get the ip address of a device.

 

(this issue is related to issue 27 previously submitted
against WS-Discovery) 

Proposed Resolution:

Clarify in the specification
