This module helps in automatic client-server discovery and connection setup for networked
applications
I wrote this module a while ago (5+ years) and though it would be handy
for others. Its a handy auto-socket connection module. I used it
originally in a internet cafe management system. The client app installed
on the PC would start the receiver. It would then wait for the server
to broadcast its URL and on receiving it connect and do its business.
I've recently had call to want to do this type of thing again so I thought
I'd dust this code off ...
