Subject: Async DNS redux

Message-ID: <87ty3494yb.fsf@gnus.org> (raw)
I was reading a blog just now, and apparently CloudFlare has a hickup:
larsi@rusty:~/mgnus$ time host www.thisiscolossal.com
www.thisiscolossal.com is an alias for www.thisiscolossal.com.cdn.cloudflare.net.
www.thisiscolossal.com.cdn.cloudflare.net is an alias for cf-ssl4799-protected-www.thisiscolossal.com.cdn.cloudflare.net.

This made using Emacs impossible. The resolving is totally synchronous,
and there were many pictures from this host. Every one halting Emacs
for 20 seconds.
I'm going to try to fix up url-retrieve-queue somewhat -- if resolving
failed for host foo, then just remove all entries from the queue that
are trying to do the same. Hm. But since it fetches a lot of stuff in
parallel, that may not be trivial. Uhm...
Anyway, what I wanted to ask was whether anybody has had any further
ideas on async DNS resolving in Emacs? For stuff like this to work in a
satisfactory manner, we really need a kind of
(dns-resolve "foo.bar" 'callback) call in Emacs.
Does gnulib or anything have anything handy here? :-)
