The current documents do not require HTTP. It is *one* method available for obtaining data, but not mandatory to implement. Technically, no method is mandatory. The expectation is that resolvers should get it in whatever way they prefer. -- Wes Hardaker Google _______________________________________________ DNSOP mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected]
