Does it support happy eyeball algorithm for dual stack and portions of it for single stack, when multiple A(dress) records are returned, to figure out which destination accepts our connect() ?



Not yet, but is coming soon. We have a minor technical challenge to make it work with QUIC.


That would be awesome if even just for tcp protocols.

I've been looking at contrib.resolver in urllib3.future and noticed that you only parse A,AAAA,HTTPS from responses, but you do not handle a CNAME. I wonder, because kubernetes service can return a CNAME for app to follow:

https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/services-networking/serv...

Just wonder, if this is something worth pursuing, to follow one CNAME...

I'm fully aware this is not a recursive resolver, but just wondering about a CNAME response from coredns here...


This would be done gladly. Open an issue at urllib3.future and a proper tracking will be made.

The internal resolver is recursive, so CNAME are automatically translated into addresses. What remain is the happy eyeball implementation, which is almost completed already. we wanted to wait for an harmonious feature (e.g. available across all 3 protocols)

but can be speeded up if really needed.
