[webkit-dev] Proposed feature: Network Service Discovery

[youenn fablet]

Hi Anders,

The JS object extension hooks you are mentioning looks interesting.
Do you know where I can get some more information about it?

IHMO, this feature is not yet mature and stable enough to be added into
WebKit right now.
I hope it gets improved further so that the functionality can be actually
brought into WebKit in the future.

As a side information, there is a thread on the Blink mailing list on that
particular topic:

Regards,
   Youenn
