Worth Reading: Use of HTTPS DNS Resource Records
Around 30 years after we got the first website, the powers that be realized it might make sense to put this is how you access a web server information (including its IPv4 and IPv6 address, and HTTP(S) support information) directly into DNS, using HTTPS Resource Records. It took us long enough 🤷♂️
I can see some usages to resolve some corner cases but nothing revolutionary.
Am I missing something? What are the real advantages? (the linked blog post didnt really give me an "omg" moment)
It can reduce the number of roundtrip times and the guesswork (IPv4 or IPv6? HTTPS or HTTP or QUIC?) that would usually be implemented with either parallel requests or redirects (even more roundtrip times)
Oh I didnt get an email notification for your answer!
I see, thank you very much for the clarification!
