Remove reverse DNS stuff #31

Closed HendrikF closed 8 years ago

HendrikF commented 8 years ago

This scenario happened to me today: Imagine you have two Fritz!Boxes, of which both claim the hostname fritz.box. If we do this crappy reverse DNS stuff and the hostname later resolves to a different IP, then it is possible, that we accidentally update a different box.

Instead we should let the user decide, whether to connect with hostname or IP.

If a box really needs the user to log in via hostname and connecting is only possible via IP, then we anyway would have to change fritzbox_api_php to send the hostname in http headers.
