Heh heh, funny you should mention gitjour. This code is from some  
patches I'm working on for gitjour to marry git's instaweb with  
Bonjour. I've got the publishing side working, but the issue I'm  
having is on the discovery end of things. What I'm trying to do is  
discover services published by other folks similar to the 'list'  
method in the Application class (just using a different service type).

Right now I'm going down the path of looking for "_http._tcp" records  
and then filtering based on a naming convention to find the git sites.  
However I think the issue is that I'm getting some bad record during  
discovery that is jacking my code. I get this even when I don't have  
the git instaweb published via bonjour so I think it's some other HTTP  
service. It's very perplexing.
