nusenu via Unbound-users:
I found the answer to this question in this section of the RFC:
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc1035#section-4.1.3
RDLENGTH an unsigned 16 bit integer that specifies the length in
octets of the RDATA field.
so I assume as_raw_data() returns RDLENGTH and RDATA, but 2 bytes would be the
first 2 chars
not just the first char?
ok a final correction: TXT length is a single byte and not in RFC1035 but in
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6763#section-6.1
The format of each constituent string within the DNS TXT record is a
single length byte, followed by 0-255 bytes of text data.
sorry for the noise about the length.
kind regards,
nusenu
