This is a JavaScript implementation of a [DNS over HTTP protocol] (https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-song-dns-wireformat-http/) client. It was done as a proof-of-concept/prototype at the IETF 96 Hackathon.
It uses the native-dns-packet JavaScript library, which was written for Node.js. It is combined with the code and converted to a browser version via the [Browserify] (http://browserify.org/) tool.
To use it:
-
Set up Node.js and the npm package manager.
-
Then install the native-dns-packet library and the buffercursor library that it depends on:
$ npm install native-dns-packet
$ npm install buffercursor
- Finally, use Browserify to create JavaScript that can be included in an HTML:
$ browserify dnsoverhttpjsdemo-src.js -o dnsoverhttpjsdemo.js
You can copy the dnsoverhttpjsdemo.html and dnsoverhttpjsdemo.js
to any web server and connect to it with a browser.
