Example.com is shorter, but acme-server.example.com is clearer.

 

Unless it becomes annoying, I prefer clarity to brevity.

Subject: [Acme] Re: Paul Wouters' No Objection on draft-ietf-acme-onion-05: 
(with COMMENT)

 

In every instance of example.com <http://example.com>  in the draft this could 
also be an onion domain, however it most likely that ACME will be used over the 
plain Internet - so I will leave it as example.com <http://example.com> .

 

I will let others chime in on weather they'd like to see 
acme-server.example.com <http://acme-server.example.com>  or example.com 
<http://example.com>  in the RFC.

My point was that using a DNS name like "example.com <http://example.com> " in 
this case has another implication, that it is using real DNS

and thus is not a tor/onion connection. I just want to make sure that for all 
uses of "example.com <http://example.com> ", it is indeed going over

the regular internet and not over an onion connection.

 

I personally think it is useful too to say like acme-server.example.com 
<http://acme-server.example.com>  to convey better what the example entry is 
used for.

Hi Paul,

 

Thanks for the comments.

The use of example.com <http://example.com>  is copied over directly from 
RFC8555, so I don't see a need to choose something different here.

Could you elaborate? I don't quite follow.

Will fix.

COMMENT:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I find the use of "example.com <http://example.com> " confusing. Does this mean 
a valid DNS
identifier in the real DNS accessed over the regular internet? If not, should
it not be better to use "example.onion" ? Maybe also using something like
"acme-server.example.com <http://acme-server.example.com> " could be a bit 
clearer?

Maybe explaining (for non tor experts) the relationship between key identifiers
and the XXXX.onion site name?

Section 8.2:
The use of "the author wishes" is a left over from when this was an individual
document. As this is now a WG document it should be generalized, eg "it is
desired" ?
