Hello,
I’m using the latest version of Firefox on my Windows 10 Home edition and Linux Ubuntu 14.04 LTS desktops. I noticed that Firefox always sends two DNS requests: A and AAAA requests. I did an experiment to see which API is used by Firefox and found that the API getaddrinfo() does send 2 DNS requests on my Linux machine while it sends only one A request on my Windows machine. This doesn’t guarantee that Firefox always uses this API. Does Firefox uses multiple APIs depending on the OS? I would like to know which API does Firefox use when sending DNS requests. Thank you for your help. This is part of my PhD research and I appreciate your cooperation. -- Sincerely, Fatemah Alharbi PhD Student Computer Science Department SID 861185554 _______________________________________________ dev-tech-network mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-tech-network
