Abstract

A method, apparatus and system related to zero configuration communication between a browser and a networked media device are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method of a client device includes constraining an executable environment in a security sandbox, executing a sandboxed application in the executable environment using a processor and a memory, and automatically instantiating a connection between the sandboxed application and a sandbox reachable service of a networked media device. The method may include processing an identification data associated with the sandbox reachable service sharing a public address with the client device. The method may also include determining a private address pair of the sandbox reachable service based on the identification data. Further, the method may include establishing a communication session between the sandboxed application and the sandbox reachable service using a cross-site scripting technique of the security sandbox or appending a header of a hypertext transfer protocol.
