I'm somewhat new to shoes. Does 'gem' install the gem? You could
package dnsruby with the app. Not ideal, but... If I were the shoes
maintainer I would consider using dnsruby in the standard shoes package
for all apps. It really works much better the the stdlib version.

Hi doki_pen,
I tried doing:
Shoes.setup do
gem 'dnsruby'
end
require 'dnsruby'
Resolv = Dnsruby::Resolv
but Shoes then seems to hang permanently on "Looking for dnsruby". It
could be a chicken and egg problem ... perhaps it cant find dnsruby
because it cant resolve hostnames.
What is strange is that the 'download' examples work fine ... (and
they resolve the name google.com).
So maybe it is something about Net::HTTP which breaks, whilst the
'download' method (which I think calls C++ code) works fine.

Hi all,
Does anyone know how to fix hostnames not resolving on windows? (they
do in OSX). This is using net:http.
It would be worth knowing whether
require 'resolv-replace'
fixes this.
it doesn't appear to ... but in my testing, I did get one successful
resolving of a domain name (I kept trying an other 6 times all
unsuccessful (no code changes))
is it possible that resolving DNS it is inconsistent? (or am I going mad?)

In my experience, ruby's resolv impl is horrid. I've been using dnsruby
with great success. I think that if there is a timeout on the first dns
server listed, then ruby gives up(doesn't catch the timeout exception and
try the next dns server). If you can't use dnsruby, then try switching the
order of your dns servers. BTW, this is how _I_ use dnsruby:
require 'dnsruby'
Resolv = Dnsruby::Resolv
