Does somebody knows if there is a complete mdns library for the ESP8266 non-os-sdk?

The current one included in the sdk only includes the responder, but hasn't implemented a listener...

I was thinking to maybe port the one for the ESP32 which is a full mdns library, does anybody have think it is worth it? - How complex task would it be?

Thanks

lwIP has mDNS and you may be able to enable it in the lwipopts.h and have it just work

I believe that @eriksl has removed the mdns library because it is not part of lwip, also that library only implements a listener, I am actually after a library in which I can make mdns queries, so I can resolve host names to IP addresses.
