Yes, but I can understand that they're not too inclined - I believe it's not easy to portably get information about such RRTYPEs from the OS resolver, e.g. I can't see a way in POSIX. Most http libraries would need to deal with this somehow. It doesn't seem realistic to *wait* for OS implementations or even APIs to improve. Overall it seems quite a stalemate, I'm afraid, probably without an "ideal" solution within reasonable timeframe. --Vladimir _______________________________________________ DNSOP mailing list DNSOP@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dnsop
