MiniDynDNS v1.2.0

# About the source code

To keep the source code hackable and easier to understand it's organized in
sections rather than classes. I've tried several class layouts but rejected them
all because they added to much boiler plate and self organization code. But feel
free to give it a try.

Two global variables are used throughout the code:

$config: The servers configuration, per default loaded from config.yml
$db: The DNS database, per default loaded and automatically saved to db.yml

Some functions don't take any parameters at all. They usually operate on the
global variables.

# Running tests

Execute tests/test.rb to put the DNS server through the paces. Run it as root
(e.g. via sudo) to test privilege dropping.

# Version history

1.0.0 2015-11-06  Initial release.
1.0.1 2015-11-08  Removed a left over debug output line.
1.0.2 2015-11-19  Trying to update records without a password now returns 403
                  forbidden. They're unchangable.
                  Errors during HTTP or DNS requests are now logged to stderr.
1.0.3 2015-11-25  An empty answer is now returned if we can't find the requested
                  record but the name has other records (RFC 4074 4.2. Return
                  "Name Error").
1.1.0 2017-01-06  Added HTTPS support.
                  Fixed hanging HTTP connections of stupid routers breaking the
                  DNS server (moved HTTP servers into extra thread and imposed
                  timeout).
1.1.1 2017-02-12  The server can now resolve itself by using the name "@"
                  (reported by Chris).
1.1.2 2017-03-31  Names are now matched case insensitive (reported by SebiTNT).
                  HTTP server can now be disabled via configuration (requested
                  by SebiTNT).
1.1.3 2017-04-01  Unknown DNS record types are now printed with their numerical
                  value instead of an empty string (reported by SebiTNT).
1.1.4 2017-04-02  Server now answers NS queries about itself (reported by
                  SebiTNT).
1.1.5 2017-11-28  Log messages and errors are now written immediatly (flushed)
                  even when the output is redirected (reported by Catscrash).
1.2.0 2018-02-19  When the "myip" parameter is omitted in the HTTP interface
                  the records IP is set to the peer IP of the connection
                  (contributed by Chris).
