Is it possible to find the ip of an http-server (which will respond on a specific request) in local network only via client javascript in the browser? It should work on mobile and desktop browsers. The poor mans way trying out all ip(v4) adresses seems not possible because I cannot get reliably the local ip (http://net.ipcalf.com doesn't work on IE and all mobile browsers on iOS). UDP broadcasts don't seem possible with javascript. Is there any other possibility?
My only other alternative seems to be developing a native discovery app for all relevant platforms (win, mac, ios, android).
