Abstract
A method of searching for a network device and registering the network device to a network using HTTP and a network registration service apparatus are provided. The method includes receiving, at a registration server, registration information from the network device; receiving, at the registration server, a registration request message from the client message through a HTTP protocol; creating, at the registration server, a web page containing both a list of network devices that are accessing the same network as the client device and access information allowing for access to the network devices; transmitting, at the registration server, the web page to the client device through a HTTP protocol; and in response to receiving an access request message from the client device, transmitting, at the network device, an initial setting page to the client device, whereby the client device registers the network device to the network.
