Bug 70074

It's been in my TO-DO list for a couple of years. I hope to get it working for KDE 3.3.

I am lacking, though, a working implementation to base on or use.

You could dig in these projects:

http://libsrv.sourceforge.net/
http://www.nongnu.org/ruli/

Thank you, I will take a look.

*** Bug 93904 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

DNS SRV support should be provided throughout, not just kio_http but kio_ftp, webdav, fish, etc.

I am working on this:

http://websvn.kde.org/branches/work/srv-resolution/

I forgot to CC this bug.
   
SVN commit 443592 by thiago:

Merging branch in branches/work/kdecorenetwork-srv-resolution back to
the main line: implements SRV-based DNS lookups according to RFC 2782.

The code is in working condition and should compile for
everyone. Bug me if it doesn't.

Missing feature: sort the per-priority entries according to weight. This
is a "SHOULD" feature according to the RFC. I'll implement it somewhen.

Foward-port to KDE4 will not happen now because there's no QDns replacement
outside the Qt3Support library.

If a SHOULD feature doesn't work, shouldn't this bug remain open?

SRV resolution works. Bug closed.

The weighing per priority is subject of a new bug (wish) report.
