Philips Hue Bridge UPnP discovery via UDP datagram socket (SSDP) for a windows 8 store app written in JavaScript

see discover.js for a working example to locate philips hue bridges in your network with a windows 8 store app. the baseURLs of the bridges are returned as an array.

discoverBridges({
	timeout: 1200, // wait 1.2 seconds for all devices to respond to the ssdp
	callback: function(bridges) {
		// e.g. bridges[0] = "http://your-ip:80/"
	}
});

then you can connect to the API and do whatever you want.

jQuery 2.x is used in this code.
