Name: zeroconf Description: Provides functionality for browsing services available on local networks via the Zero Configuration networking standard, as implemented by the Howl ZeroConf library. Example services include PostgreSQL and Sybase databases, Apache-hosted web services via mod_rendezvous, and various published services on Mac OS X (FTP, AFP, SSH, etc.). This extension allows you to scan for specific services and obtain the IP address and port the service is running on. As stated in the description, the extension links with the Howl ZeroConf library available from http://www.porchdogsoft.com/products/howl/ . The license file states that portions are licensed under the APSL v2.0, though Freshmeat notes that it is distributed under a modified BSD license (http://freshmeat.net/projects/howl/). I've emailed the author for clarification and will forward his response to this list as necessary. - Gabriel =====
