bonjour-forwarder

This is a simple example that shows how zeromq can listen to bonjour service announcements. It's based off code from http://code.google.com/p/pybonjour.

To run, first start the bonjour forwarder, which converts bonjour registrations to zeromq. It will forward any bonjour registrations of type "_test._tcp":

% bin/bonjour-forwarder 'tcp://*:8890' _test._tcp

Then, start a simple zeromq listener, which has no knowledge of bonjour:

% bin/bonjour-listener 'tcp://localhost:8890'

Finally, start a bonjour service:

% bin/bonjour-service TestService _test._tcp 1234

The bin/bonjour-listener should print out this json message:

{"fullname":"TestService._test._tcp.local.","hosttarget":"hostname","type":"resolved","port":1234}

If you kill bin/bonjour-service, the bin/bonjour-listener should then print out:

{"domain":"local.","type":"disconnect","name":"TestService"}
