Seven years ago everyone was up in arms about DoH and I wrote about how we implemented it in #Firefox (as I worked for Mozilla back then)

Inside Firefox’s DOH engine

DNS over HTTPS (DOH) is a feature where a client shortcuts the standard native resolver and instead asks a dedicated DOH server to resolve names.

After I wrote (most of) the DoH implementation for #Firefox it was not too hard to subsequently add support for DoH in #curl.

Do you have an opinion on DoH vs. DoT?

Am I the only one who hears Homer pronounce DoH every time I see it?

Also, imagine someone in 1980 read the above sentence. They're thinking some old Greek guy and wondering why I capitalised the word that way. Internet culture is weird.

@lyda I think that just means you've heard it too little. It's like all the "fun" puns on the QUIC protocol. After the first twenty-two, they're not as fun anymore...

If I'm going to be totally honest: implementing anything in #curl is about fourteen times easier and more fun than the thread- and object-spaghetti that is #Firefox code... But don't tell anyone I said this.

It'll be even easier once you merge that LLM authored PR. The one refactoring everything to use a more modern and flexible component system.

At least three kinds of marshalling.
Cross platform of course.

… so we can soon expect new curl parameters “--run-with-gui” and “--enable-web-browser-mode“. Not much is missing for that, right?

The thing that projects like Firefox (and Chromium) desperately need is a fresh rewrite from scratch...

I remember hearing about this because the UK ISP lobbying group nominated Mozilla as an Internet Villain when it rolled out: ispa.org.uk/ispa-announces-fin…
