Example for chain.py does not work #5

Closed danyork closed 11 years ago

danyork commented 11 years ago

In README.md it gives the example of using chain.py as:

For example: % python chain.py www.dnssec-exp.org chain

However, that doesn't work on my system:

$ python chain.py www.dnssec-exp.org chain
No good TLSA records at www.dnssec-exp.org.
 * Are you sure that you remembered to put, say, _443._tcp at the beginning of the domain? *
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "chain.py", line 477, in <module>
    main()
  File "chain.py", line 461, in main
    zones = buildChain(target)
  File "chain.py", line 240, in buildChain
    assert(False)
AssertionError

It would appear the example text needs to be updated to show how chain.py should work.

dnssec-exp.org is a placeholder for an example DNSSEC domain - it's expected not to exist!

DOH.... I guess my brain is so trained to look for examples using example.com|net that it didn't occur to me to check to see if dnssec-exp.org was in fact even a registered domain. Thanks for the explanation.
