Hi all,
lately I've been seriously thinking about switching to an asynchronous resolver
for the Debian libcurl packages. There's a long-lived bug report asking to
enable c-ares support (it was actually enabled a while ago, but because of the
IPv6 bug it was later disabled), but AFAICT c-ares does not support the Name
Service Switch (NSS) thingy, and there's probably no hope in adding support for
it (unless making c-ares not asynchronous anymore...).
So I've been playing with the threaded resolver and it seems to work fine, but
I was wondering if any of you has had any problem with it that I should be
aware of, considering that libcurl is one of the most installed packages in
Debian.
Comments?
We've been using the threaded resolver in Fedora since Fedora 12 (4
years ago) and it looks pretty stable to me.
Paul.
