Network.DNS.Resolver

Description

Resolver related data types.

Synopsis

Configuration for resolver

data ResolvConf Source #

Type for resolver configuration. Use defaultResolvConf to create a new value.

An example to use Google's public DNS cache instead of resolv.conf:

>>> let conf = defaultResolvConf { resolvInfo = RCHostName "8.8.8.8" }

An example to use multiple Google's public DNS cache concurrently:

>>> let conf = defaultResolvConf { resolvInfo = RCHostNames ["8.8.8.8","8.8.4.4"], resolvConcurrent = True }

An example to disable EDNS0:

>>> let conf = defaultResolvConf { resolvEDNS = [] }

An example to enable EDNS0 with a 1,280-bytes buffer:

>>> let conf = defaultResolvConf { resolvEDNS = [fromEDNS0 defaultEDNS0 { udpSize = 1280 }] }

An example to enable cache:

>>> let conf = defaultResolvConf { resolvCache = Just defaultCacheConf }

defaultResolvConf :: ResolvConf Source #

Return a default ResolvConf :

Accessors

resolvRetry :: ResolvConf -> Int Source #

The number of retries including the first try.

resolvEDNS :: ResolvConf -> [ ResourceRecord ] Source #

Additional resource records to specify EDNS.

resolvConcurrent :: ResolvConf -> Bool Source #

Concurrent queries if multiple DNS servers are specified.

Specifying DNS servers

data FileOrNumericHost Source #

The type to specify a cache server.

Constructors

RCFilePath FilePath

A path for "resolv.conf" where one or more IP addresses of DNS servers should be found on Unix. Default DNS servers are automatically detected on Windows regardless of the value of the file name.

RCHostName HostName

A numeric IP address. Warning : host names are invalid.

RCHostNames [ HostName ]

Numeric IP addresses. Warning : host names are invalid.

RCHostPort HostName PortNumber

A numeric IP address and port number. Warning : host names are invalid.

Configuring cache

defaultCacheConf :: CacheConf Source #

Default cache configuration.

>>> defaultCacheConf
CacheConf {maximumTTL = 300, pruningDelay = 10}

maximumTTL :: CacheConf -> TTL Source #

If RR's TTL is higher than this value, this value is used instead.

pruningDelay :: CacheConf -> Int Source #

Cache pruning interval in seconds.

Intermediate data type for resolver

data ResolvSeed Source #

Intermediate abstract data type for resolvers. IP address information of DNS servers is generated according to resolvInfo internally. This value can be safely reused for withResolver .

The naming is confusing for historical reasons.

makeResolvSeed :: ResolvConf -> IO ResolvSeed Source #

Make a ResolvSeed from a ResolvConf .

Examples:

>>> rs <- makeResolvSeed defaultResolvConf

Type and function for resolver

data Resolver Source #

Abstract data type of DNS Resolver. This includes newly seeded identifier generators for all specified DNS servers and a cache database.

withResolver :: ResolvSeed -> ( Resolver -> IO a) -> IO a Source #

Giving a thread-safe Resolver to the function of the second argument.

withResolvers :: [ ResolvSeed ] -> ([ Resolver ] -> IO a) -> IO a Source #

Deprecated: Use withResolver with resolvConcurrent set to True

Giving thread-safe Resolver s to the function of the second argument. For each Resolver , multiple lookups must be done sequentially. Resolver s can be used concurrently.
