#18037: Should the user be allowed to specify FQDNs for HS VIRTPORTs?
-------------------------+--------------------------------
Reporter: yawning | Owner:
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: Low | Milestone: Tor: 0.2.8.x-final
Component: Tor | Version: Tor: unspecified
Severity: Minor | Keywords: tor-hs dns

-------------------------+--------------------------------
Spinoff of #18029.
The current behavior is to accept any of a raw port, IP address + port, or
FQDN + port. We also will accept oddball (historic) `inet_aton()` style
IP addresses (raw hex) depending on if the system implements
`getaddrinfo()` correctly or not.
I'm inclined to leave this as is, and if users care that the HS will hit
up the system resolver at initialization time, it should be obvious that
they need to specify the target by IP. That said, documentation
clarification that an FQDN is acceptable would be ideal.
Since both torrc and ADD_ONION style HSes call into common code, changing
the behavior to never hit up the resolver is trivial as well.
