how to perform ssdp communicationbetween upnp devices

Question

i am trying to implement the upnp level communication between the devices .. but facing problem in getting the response message .and more over on sending the ssdp:discovery multicast not able to recieve the messages from the devices ... please guide me through i am completely newto this topic

pre-requisite done by me :

1.able to send the M-Search ..and notify message on the network .. and have confirmed via wireshark

2.gone through the upnp architecture related pdf

response got in wireshark :

when ever i am sending the message i am getting the icmp error message that destination is not reachable ..

< client side code > is the first one and second one is the for time being i am just sending up the data on local host

at first i have used the nping for sending the M-search message using the command "nping --udp -g1900 -p1900 --data-string "<Msearch message >" 239.255.255.250 — abhishek kumar srivastava
and now i am trying to perform the same using the c language code ...of seperate server and client side ..codes i will upload the code — abhishek kumar srivastava
"for time being i am just sending up the data on local host" -- sending to 127.0.0.1 makes no sense even then: M-SEARCH messages are multicast and need to be sent to the SSDP multicast address. — Jussi Kukkonen
@jku thanks for pointing it out ... i corrected it ...now my main concern is how to set up a upnp server on a ubuntu machine so that it reply back to my M-search messages ... — abhishek kumar srivastava

The individual lines in you M-SEARCH need to have "\r\n" at the end of each line, not just a "\n". Your system may just be sending "\n" across the wire. Check the bytes you're sending for a 13 followed by a 10. That's "\r\n".
