Hi Adam,
I register a HTTP service without problem however I was wondering if I can
change the http address it uses.
At the moment when I register my HTTP server it is shown in the IE plugin
as "adam" however the http link is "blob.local.". If I use the below code
I can change it so that the IE plugin takes me to "adam.local." however
the DNS lookup fails.
DNSSDRegistration registration = DNSSD.register(0,0,"adam",
"_http._tcp","", "adam.local.", port, null, new RegListener());
Is there a way via Java calls with rendezvous that I can get IE to look in
the right place. DNSSDRegistration has an addRecord method that is
mentioned but I cannot get that to work.
It is not a major thing, its just that if I have a link to another
rendezvous enabled machine serving pages it would be nice to link to the
rendezvous name so that if they change the machine name (for example) my
links don't stop working. It also looks nicer that way and a bit more
personal.
Do you own the machine "adam.local."? Is it running Rendezvous for
Windows? Can you ping "adam.local."?
