DNS query API is ready (ipfs/kubo#1054 (comment)) which means we could implement it as a part of #16 effort.

  • While user browses the web addon should query API regarding newly discovered hostnames and load site resources from IPFS if dnslink is present (and custom gateway redirect is enabled) – 037ea98
  • Initially it should be an experimental feature (disabled by default) – 037ea98
  • API responses should be cached in-memory for some time – 49a00cc
    • Note that we redirect to /ipns/ address and ignore dnslink path from DNS. Thanks to this, we can cache DNS responses for a long time.
      It is up to the gateway to get the latest version
  • Tests
  • Do not cache dnslink lookup when API is offline – 2c37516

Site with dnslink:

GET http://localhost:5001/api/v0/dns/ipfs.io

{"Path":"/ipfs/QmSrk8wCZ9oUgSCxJq4TXyJnPBYfoLDpKLGn7hLPNzauVX"}

Site without dnslink in TXT record:

GET http://localhost:5001/api/v0/dns/google.com:

{"Message":"could not resolve name.","Code":0}

PoC dnslink support
d46bf4d 
- based on functionality from legacy-sdk branch (see issue #44)
- DNS lookups are stored in LRU Cache
- does not redirect on initial cache miss (room for improvement)
- disabled by default (in current form degrades browsing performance)
