SSDPClient.jl

Simple Service Discovery Protocol (SSDP) client for julia.

Contents

ssdpquery(matchtext = ""; timeoutsecs = 10 * 60)

Query local network for devices responding to query with the Simple Service Discovery Protocol (SSDP).

The matchtext argument is an optional text to match, such as "Roku" or "Arduino". The matching is case-insensitive.

The optional timeoutsecs is the number of seconds to monitor the network before returning from the function. This defaults to 600 seconds or 10 minutes. If you specify a capture in the match text, that capture will be returned, otherwise the entry that had a match will be returned in its entirety.

NOTE: If you do not specify an argument all replies will be printed and the function will loop until timeout (default 10 minutes) or until Control-C interrupt. This is useful when searching a network.
