HTTPS is a valid resource record type. It's currently in draft status
but it's used in the wild rather frequently.

Subject Re: [Dnsmasq-discuss] dnsmasq (pihole) caching of HTTPS
requested
HTTPS is not a DNS record, so there is nothing to cache.
When you reference an URL, an HTTPS record, your system will have to
look up the system name to do that. That system name is in a DNS A
record (or AAAA if you are using IPv6).

hello team
I was inquiring about pihole's lack of cache for HTTPS requests and they
directed me to you. As dnsmasq is used by pihole, is it possible to add
caching for the HTTPS type?
*dnsmasq can only cache A, AAAA, CNAME, DS, DNSKEY and SRV. For the three
latter it already utilizes blockmemory and I think this should be
extendable rather straightforward.*
