The UDP server would respond to broadcast messages from the client with its IP Address, Mask, default gateway. The client will need to send this broadcast before it communicate with the HTTP server. I hope this is the most practical solution.
I have used that and it used to work.
Newer versions of windows block UDP data from devices that have not been
explicitly communicated with. So, it won't work unless you add an
exception to the Windows firewall.
