Description
The current WS-Discovery implementation could use support for discovering services which are provided on localhost. This is currently not the case due to an obscure detail of multicast communications where, when a multicast packet is sent, by default it is not echoed back to the host that sent it.
For more info, see: http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Multicast-HOWTO-6.html
This should be an easy fix by setting the appropriate options on the MulticastSocket used by WSDiscoveryClient (which I believe is implemented by UDPConduit in UDPTransport).
