Hi Davey
Some general comments:
I don't think you can claim that https provides data integrity or
privacy any more, since MitM proxies are abundant.
I think some thought should be given to how a DNS stub might deal with a
captive portal or http proxy authentication.
I think also that any HTTP server that receives such a request probably
ought to be validating the encapsulated binary data before forwarding it
to any DNS server.
I wonder why you'd want to keep truncation, as the request should be
able to benefit from the fact that fundamentally it's made over TCP to
the HTTP agent.
I would also suggest looking into how such requests might be best
blocked by an http proxy, because this will be a requirement of proxy
operators, and it would be good to consider user experience for when
this happens, so that a consistent approach can be taken (rather than
every different proxy blocking it some other way so that the user
experience becomes awful).
Cheers
Adrien

Hi Colleagues,
We have update the dns-wireformat draft according to the advice we
gained from last IETF meeting, changing the well-known URI from
dns-over-http to dns-wireformat according to Paul Hoffman's suggestion.
Any further comments ? I would like to ask for WG to adopt it this
time.
Best regards,
Davey

Abstract:
This memo introduces a way to tunnel DNS data over HTTP. This may
be
useful in any situation where DNS is not working properly, such as
when there is middlebox misbehavior.
Please note that it may take a couple of minutes from the time of
submission
until the htmlized version and diff are available at tools.ietf.org.
