SLP requires you to use Service URLs. API functions will return

SLP_PARSE_ERROR

if you do not.

Service URLs are required because the SLP API designers do not allow the service-type to be passed in as

a parameter to the

SLPDeReg() call. Without the service-type,

SLPDeReg() does not allow the caller

to distinguish between services of varying types that were registered with the same standard URL.

The

SLPFindSrvs()

function expects the search strings to be passed in LDAPv3 Search Filter Syntax.
