A bit later on Cloudflare also provided a global DoH endpoint and that begat the (not-on-CRAN) <code>{dnsflare}<\/code> <a href=\"https:\/\/rud.is\/b\/2018\/04\/01\/more-options-for-querying-dns-from-r-with-1-1-1-1\/\">package<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>There are actually two ways to make these <a href=\"https:\/\/tools.ietf.org\/id\/draft-ietf-doh-dns-over-https-05.html\">DoH queries<\/a>: one via an HTTPS <code>GET<\/code> REST API and the other via HTTPS <code>POST<\/code> queries that use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.icann.org\/en\/system\/files\/files\/presentation-dns-wireformat-protocols-13jul18-en.pdf\">DNS wireformat<\/a> queries and replies. While the <code>POST<\/code> side of DoH is pretty standardized\/uniform the <code>GET<\/code>\/REST API side is kind of the Wild West. I wanted a way to have support for both wireformat and REST idioms but also not have to write a gazillion packages to support the eventual plethora of diverse DoH <code>GET<\/code>\/REST API services.<\/p>\n<p>I &#8220;solved&#8221; this by first augmenting my (not-on-CRAN) <code>{clandnstine}<\/code> <a href=\"https:\/\/git.sr.ht\/~hrbrmstr\/clandnstine\">package<\/a> to support the <code>POST<\/code> wireformat DoH queries (since the underlying <a href=\"https:\/\/getdnsapi.net\"><code>{getdns}<\/code> library<\/a> supports decoding wireformat responses) and creating a very small <a href=\"https:\/\/git.sr.ht\/~hrbrmstr\/playdoh\"><code>{playdoh}<\/code> package<\/a> which provided generic support for (hopefully) any DoH <code>GET<\/code>\/REST endpoint.<\/p>\n<h3>DoH vs DoT<\/h3>\n<p>I made the <code>{clandnstine}<\/code> package primarily to support making <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/DNS_over_TLS\">DNS over TLS<\/a> (DoT) queries but it makes sense to combine both DoH and DoT functionality into that package. The problem is that the legacy platform most of y&#8217;all R users are on (i.e. Windows) makes using that package problematic. Therefore, by separating out the DoH <code>GET<\/code> functionality into a standalone package I don&#8217;t have to write a DNS wireformat pure R response handler.<\/p>\n<p>There are performance and other differences between DoH and DoT. I suspect most DNS providers and also most open source DNS server will eventually support both DoH and DoT so which one you use will be up to your clients and use cases.<\/p>\n<h3>A Tale of Two (or More) Queries<\/h3>\n<p>We&#8217;ll issue a few queries over DoH and DoT to a few servers to ensure we&#8217;re getting the same results.<\/p>\n<pre><code class=\"language-r\">library(clandnstine) # both of these are on sourcehut (~hrbrmstr\/pkgname), \nlibrary(playdoh)     # or gitlab\/gitugh (hrbrmstr\/pkgname)\n\n# DoT\nx &lt;- gdns_context()\ngdns_query(x, \"example.com\", rr_type = \"a\")$just_address_answers$address_data\n## [1] \"93.184.216.34\"\n\n# DoH POST (wireformat)\ndoh_post(\"example.com\", \"a\", server_path = doh_servers$quad9$url)$answer$rdata$ipv4_address\n## [1] \"93.184.216.34\"\n\n# DoH GET (rest)\ndoh_get(\"example.com\", \"a\", service_path = doh_servers$securedns_eu$url)$data[1]\n## [1] \"93.184.216.34\"\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>To support the, er, <em>diversity<\/em> of requirements across various <code>GET<\/code>\/REST endpoints the <code>playdoh::doh_get()<\/code> function has an <code>extra_params<\/code> parameter which lets you specify any required extra REST query params.
