Support home server resolution via DNS #2828

Closed gaykitty closed 1 month ago

gaykitty commented 11 months ago

As per the matrix spec, if resolving a user's home server via well-known fails, then the client should query for an SRV record associated with that hostname. The sdk does not appear to do this at present.

There is the Domain library from NLnet labs folks, can be used either with the built-in stub resolver or in a Sans-Io fashion. https://github.com/NLnetLabs/domain

There is also https://github.com/hickory-dns/hickory-dns (ex Trustdns) it's more feature-full and big.

Would recommend PoC-ing something with Domain. :)

I think this is a misunderstanding. Matrix clients do not need to query for SRV records. The doc you have linked to is for the server-server API.
