Is it possible to open a Location directly, without multicast discovery?

[tv42]

It seems to take about 2.2 seconds to go through the discovery process, here. Could I store a Location after a successful discovery, and just open it directly on subsequent runs? I don't quite see how that'd be done with the apis, DiscoverDevices seems to do some xml fetching and parsing that isn't exposed separately.

Copy-pasting requestXml and doing

    root := new(goupnp.RootDevice)
    u, err := url.Parse(loc)
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatalf("url parsing: %v", err)
    }
    if err := requestXml(u.String(), goupnp.DeviceXMLNamespace, root); err != nil {
        log.Fatal("fetching metadata: %v", err)
    }
    root.SetURLBase(u)

drops the time from 2.2 seconds to 0.05s. It would be very good to have this in a supported method.

Thanks for the report. Let me know if this doesn't meet your needs.

I'll try to follow up with another change to support similar functionality in dcps packages.
