The Simple Service Discovery Protocol (SSDP) provides a mechanism
where by network clients, with little or no static configuration,
can discover desired network services. SSDP uses HTTP over multicast
and unicast UDP to provide two functions: OPTIONS and ANNOUNCE.
OPTIONS is used to determine if a desired network service exists on
the network. ANNOUNCE is used by network services to announce their
existence.

Send a message to:
	mailserv@ietf.org.
In the body type:
	"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-cai-ssdp-v1-01.txt".
	
NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.
		
		
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
