DNS Ideas

[dylanPowers]

To get proper DNS resolving here is my best idea:

• Write a Chrome App
  • Chrome apps have raw socket support
  • Use something like https://github.com/tjfontaine/node-dns as a point of reference
  • Have it provide an http endpoint that dns requests can be made to
• ~~Have the extension declare it as a dependency~~
  • ~~Use imports in the manifest https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/shared_modules~~
  • ~~Hopefully chrome allows an extension to depend upon an app~~
  • ....and I just got shot down "// Note: no permissions are allowed in Shared Modules"

Well I suppose I can manually instruct users to install the Chrome App.

Derp, just call into the ipfs dns api off of port 5001
