Add Discovery and Launch (DIAL) header #83

Closed picatz closed 6 years ago

picatz commented 6 years ago

The DIAL (Discovery and Launch) protocol would be an interesting protocol to support in the future. 👍

Not sure how easy or hard it would be. According to Wikipedia is utilizes UPnP, SSDP and HTTP protocols.

This is a protocol stack. Packetgen is only able to handle individual protocols.

UPnP is itself a protocol stack build on SSDP and SOAP (and maybe even others protocols).

SSDP is a text protocol over HTTP, and, although HTTP is supported by Packetgen (thanks to you @picatz), I still think Packetgen is not the good framework to handle text protocols.

Thanks @pictaz for your interest on packetgen, but I reject this issue.

@sdaubert No worries, thank you for looking at this issue! I appreciate the clarification on the issue of DIAL being a protocol stack. 🙇
