Hello!
I’d like to have libcurl do recursive name resolutions, toward which end it
would be great if libunbound were supported as a name resolution backend.
I'm not sure I even I understand what recursive means when done from a client,
but let's first focus on why. Please help me understand. What functionality
does that offer for transfers that you don't have today?
I see that at least one patch
(https://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2015-08/0134.html) has been proposed for
this, but nothing seems to have come of it.
Did this idea just fail to gain sufficient traction?
That patch's purpose was primarily to enable DNSSEC and DANE/TLSA for libcurl,
but yes, it didn't get enough interest and energy from the team or the
original developer (Björn) so it rotted pretty fast.
DNSSEC and DANE/TLSA are still often mentioned as desired features for libcurl
so I think that's still an area we could explore further if someone wants to
dig in! I don't know if Björn might even still have some interest (I CC'ed him
here).
