Description Pierre THIERRY 2003-12-11 00:49:53 UTC
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.1.4)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages
OS:          Linux

RFC 2782 defines a DNS RR to specify where services are located, server address and port. It gave ability to host different services at different machines without being forced to name them according to their purpose (even with aliases), and also to use fine load-balancing and failover.

Konqueror should resolve an HTTP URI with SRV RR. (maybe KDE should provide globally a way to do it...)
Comment 1 Thiago Macieira 2003-12-11 02:28:15 UTC
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:

Thank you, I will take a look.

Comment 5 James McIninch 2005-05-13 18:54:50 UTC
DNS SRV support should be provided throughout, not just kio_http but kio_ftp, webdav, fish, etc.
Comment 6 Thiago Macieira 2005-06-01 05:31:31 UTC
I am working on this:

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.

Comment 8 Pierre THIERRY 2005-10-20 14:35:07 UTC
If a SHOULD feature doesn't work, shouldn't this bug remain open?
Comment 9 Thiago Macieira 2005-10-20 19:14:13 UTC
SRV resolution works. Bug closed.

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