I found the reason for the problem and thought I would share it with
you. The Linksys IGD's web server says that its documents are of
content type 'text/html'. Of course, libupnp only accepts documents of
type 'text/xml'. I'll probably file a bug report to Linksys about the
behaviour.

Still, I think that libupnp might accept description documents of type
'text/html', because html is a subset of xml (at least modern xhtml
is). When I relaxed libupnp's check for content type to include
'text/html', it still worked well. Could tolerance to small things
like this even be a compile option?
