Oren Shemesh created TC-151:
-------------------------------
Summary: Delivery Service XML IDs should be limited to lower-case
letters
Key: TC-151
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TC-151
Project: Traffic Control
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Traffic Ops
Affects Versions: 1.7.0
Reporter: Oren Shemesh
Priority: Minor
The DNS system is case-insensitive. Since a delivery service XML ID is used as
part of the FQDN of the cache being redirected to, two different DSs cannot
differ only by case.
This leads to the conclusion that it is best if we limit the XML IDs of
delivery services to be lower-case only.
This would achieve the following:
1. Make domain names used by TC 'conventional' (i.e. lower-case only)
2. Remove the possibility of a case-conflict between DSs
3. Currently, Traffic Router does not behave correctly when a DS XML ID
contains upper case letters. Limiting to lower-case would prevent the need to
fix this :-)
Current problems with TR behaviour, when an XML ID contains opper-case letter
are:
1. The TR sends a redirect to a host FQDN which contains a lower-case version
of the DS XML ID
2. The TR does not resolve the lower-case version of the host FQDN.
Here is an example to demo current bug in TR. DS XML ID is opencachehub-DT, TR
redirects to opencachehub-dt, and then refused to resolve the cache name using
this DS (a lot of irrelevant data was removed fro this text):
