This probably touches on things a lot of us work on. <div class="gmail_quote">---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: "Paul Hoffman" <<a href="mailto:paul.hoffman@vpnc.org">paul.hoffman@vpnc.org</a>> Date: 14 Feb 2013 17:28 Subject: [apps-discuss] Revised proposal for a DNS API To: "<a href="mailto:apps-discuss@ietf.org">apps-discuss@ietf.org</a> Discuss" <<a href="mailto:apps-discuss@ietf.org">apps-discuss@ietf.org</a>> Cc: Greetings again. After my message a few weeks ago, a couple applications developers were interested enough in the DNS API proposal I am working on to subscribe to the mailing list and send in some really good ideas. I have acted on those, and am soliciting for more. Please see <a href="http://www.vpnc.org/getdns-api/" target="_blank">http://www.vpnc.org/getdns-api/</a> for the current API proposal and description of the design principles I used to put it together; subscribe to the mailing list at <a href="http://www.vpnc.org/mailman/listinfo/getdns-api" target="_blank">http://www.vpnc.org/mailman/listinfo/getdns-api</a> I am still seeking input from application developers to say what they would really want to see in an API. I based the design on input from an informal gang of application developers, but I'm sure that other application developers have thought "what I really want from the DNS is X and I want to be able to ask in with an API that does Y"; early discussion on the mailing list has shown that to be true. At some point in the not-distant-future, I will call the design "finished" and hopefully someone will want to implement it. Please don't discuss the design on the Application Area mailing list; it is really not appropriate here given that this is not IETF work. I just wanted to alert folks of this work. --Paul Hoffman _______________________________________________ apps-discuss mailing list <a href="mailto:apps-discuss@ietf.org">apps-discuss@ietf.org</a> <a href="https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/apps-discuss" target="_blank">https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/apps-discuss</a> </div>
