Phonegap Bonjour/Zeroconf or Websocket IP Discover

Question

I am trying to implement a Phonegap (HTML5) application which connects to a Websocket server (running in an embedded device, also has Bonjour service) to exchange data within home network.

I would like to know the best possible way of detecting the server IP using Phonegap. I have explored and found that Titanium and Quickconnect support Bonjour. But I would like to stick to Phonegap for various other reasons.

Any alternative way of detecting the server IP within the local network is also okay.

Need your suggestion.

There are two iOS Bonjour plugin implementations for Phonegap (Cordova) on Github:

• https://github.com/jarnoh/cordova-dnssd
• https://github.com/SayGoSolutions/Cordova-BonjourBrowserProxy

Unfortunately I haven't found a cross-platform implementation.
