I've added patches to resolve issue #37906, DNS over TCP, to the bug
tracker:
https://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=37906
I've broken the changes into three patches:
1. netdb.patch, which updates packages/fcl-net/src/netdb.pp, adding
support for DNS over TCP
2. netdb-example.patch, which adds an example program to
packages/fcl-net/examples and adds it to
packages/fcl-net/examples/Makefile.fpc
3. netdb-tests.patch, which adds unit tests to
packages/fcl-net/tests and updates tests/Makefile.fpc to add the new
tests to the build system
I've created separate patches to simplify applying them. If there's
a problem with one, the others should still be OK.
In addition to new code for DNS over TCP, this latest set of patches
adds checks for writes beyond buffer boundaries and other potential
security issues. Since the last update I've also added support for
SRV records, as defined in RFC 2782.
Very nice indeed !! I checked your patches, they're all applied.
Great stuff! Thanks Michael. As always, I wonder if you ever sleep! :-D
Michael applied that around 9 o'clock CET, which is a rather normal time
for us Europeans to be awake. ;)
With regard to documentation, I've not written anything yet, and it
seems I'm as well placed as anyone to do it. That said, I'm completely
unfamiliar with generating documentation from source in FPC. But
there's just one way to learn, I suppose!
