DockBrowser

===========

ABOUT:

This sample demonstrates how to use NSNetServices to take advantage of Bonjour service discovery and name resolution on Mac OS X.

How it Works

This sample creates a small application that can be used to browse for services by using its Dock menu.  To see the application's Dock menu, simply control+click or click+hold on its Dock icon.  Selecting one of the discovered services will automatically connect you to the service.  This sample is hard wired to browse for services of type "_afpovertcp._tcp." (AppleShare servers) or services of type "_http._tcp." (Web servers) and you can toggle between the two by using the application's Preferences window.

Browsing for "_http._tcp." is a good way of locating Bonjour enabled hardware devices, because many of these devices will contain a built-in web server used for configuring the device.

This sample also allows you to advertise a fake instance of "_afpovertcp._tcp." or "_http._tcp." so that anyone browsing for these service types can locate you.  You can toggle this setting by going to the application's Preferences.
