Project Summary : UPnP facilitates service discovery in a single network but the reach has been limited to a local domain, the project is to bridge them over the Internet
Progress : We decided to do it in Vala, so present implementation uses GUPnP and Libsoup Vala bindings to implement the following features :
- maintaining the state of local UPnP devices using proxy devices and services, to manage queries from external network - (done)
- HTTP proxy in Libsoup to route data coming from external networks to the right local device - (done)
- a discovery mechanism allowing external UPnP control points to search the local network through HTTP - (done)
- keys handling in X.509 certificates (in C)- (done)
Next Tasks
- proper representation of a remote host
- extending UPnP event mechanism
- X.509 certificates integration
