Oleg Kalnichevski commented on HTTPCLIENT-1123:
-----------------------------------------------
Almost there. I think it would be better if the DnsResolver was always to
resolve hostname to an address or throw an UnknownHostException if the address
could not be resolved instead of returning null. Individual implementations may
choose to fall back onto InetAddress#getAllByName when appropriate or signal
failure to resolve the hostname by throwing UnknownHostException.
---
public interface DnsResolver {
InetAddress[] resolve(String host) throws UnknownHostException;
}
---
What do you think?

> Key: HTTPCLIENT-1123
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-1123
> Project: HttpComponents HttpClient
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: HttpClient
> Reporter: Alin Vasile
> Priority: Minor
> Attachments: dns_overrider_poc.patch, dns_overrider_poc.patch,
> dns_resolver.patch, dns_resolver.patch

>
> When working with HttpClient in restrictive environments, where the user
> doesn't have the permissisions to edit the local /etc/hosts file or the DNS
> configuration, can be eased with an DNS Overrider capability.
> This can be useful with JMeter which can follow redirects automatically and
> resolve some of the redirected hosts against its configuration. Another
> example is a custom forward proxy, written in Java and based on httpclient,
> which can be deployed is such a restricted environment that would ease the
> development of various web solutions for some developers.
