A question since I know nothing about web development:
If we accept it as true for the sake of argument that you might want to
run an XMPP server but not have access to run an HTTP server on the
domain you want to use, can you not use the TXT record format from
JavaScript land to get the records specified in XEP-0156? I know there
is no native "DNS lookup" API, but DNS over HTTP is a standardized thing
and there are public providers these days (or you can run your own, but
the point is that you can use a public provider if you have limited
access to services).
For example, if you wanted to use Coudflare's public DNS over HTTP
service you could do something like:
httpRequest = new XMLHttpRequest();
httpRequest.open('GET',
'https://cloudflare-dns.com/dns-query?name=conversations.im&type=SRV');
httpRequest.setRequestHeader('accept', 'application/dns-json');
httpRequest.Send();
And you'd get back a JSON blob full of SRV records. Would this be bad to
do for some reason since it is a standard now and other DNS providers
are adopting it (so even if you can't run your own there are choices)?
