UPnP announce goes out, but device is not discovered

Question

I am writing code for a UPnP device to announce itself. I have no interest in it being able to discover other UPnP devices on the network. I am sending out the following messages (taken from wireshark)

NOTIFY * HTTP/1.1\r\n
NT: upnp:rootdevice\r\n
USN: uuid:0000-1111-2222-3333::upnp:rootdevice\r\n
NTS: ssdp:alive\r\n
LOCATION: http://192.168.40.8:80/rdd2.xml\r\n

CACHE-CONTROL: max-age=900\r\n
Content-Length: 0\r\n
\r\n   

AND

The device will not discover (either on the Win 7 page where I see my other UPnP devices or on Intel's Device Spy for UPnP Technologies -- see update). I have 2 questions. first, are all of these messages necessary? And second, can anyone see why my device would not be discovered?

Other info:

And some info from Wireshark (a view down one msgs frame list)

+ Frame .....  
+ Ethernet II, Src: _my device_ , Dst: 239.255.255.250  
+ Internet Protocol, Src Port: ssdp (1900), Dst Port: ssdp (1900)  
- Hypertext Transfer Protocol  
_... msgs from above are here..._

UPDATE: I CAN see the device on intel's upnp utilities. that was a mistake writing that. The device was running under a debugger, and once rebooted with no debugger, it DID discover in the utilities. I still cannot see it on windows 7 though? Any thoughts?

Answer 1

It appears that SERVER: is a required header -- at least one client I was playing with did not like notifications with no SERVER:
