> The unicast discovery protocol is a 'raw' socket protocol that does not support HTTP(S) and does not allow for routing information. To be able to obtain a lookup service proxy in an environment where HTTP(S) and proxy servers are the only possible/allowed way of communication the unicast discovery protocol needs to be extended to allow for HTTP and probably HTTPS as well.
> A modified specification for [DJ.2.6 The Unicast Discovery Protocol|http://www.cheiron.org/research/discovery.html] has been written, modifications compared to the official specification are in blue. A partial implementation to validate these modifications has been done as part of the Cheiron project.
> This issue only represents the modified specification, consequences for Reggie and the implementation classes should  probably be tracked as an independent subtask of RIVER-277.
