DNS over Avian Carriers (DoAC)(github.com)
The Domain Name System (DNS) was designed under the implicit assumption that the underlying transport would be fast, reliable, and free from predation. This document specifies DNS over Avian Carriers (DoAC), enabling hostname resolution for networks operating over avian-carrier infrastructure. Without DoAC, operators of avian- carrier networks are forced to hardcode IP addresses directly onto their Carriers, a practice that does not scale and is widely considered inelegant.
My URL/NSURL bug in the OS 27(underpassapp.com)
Back in September, I blogged about a bug that I discovered: URL/NSURL double-encodes characters unnecessarily. Despite my well-known hatred of Feedback Assistant, I reluctantly used it in this case. I’ve filed a bug report in Apple Feedback Assistant: “URL/NSURL double-encodes characters unnecessarily” (FB20439045). It turns out that miracles do happen. See today’s macOS Golden Gate 27 Beta Release Notes and iOS & iPadOS 27 Beta Release Notes. Fixed: +[NSURL URLWithString:] no longer double-encodes the % of valid percent-escape sequences when encoding other invalid characters. (161588649) (FB20439045) That’s my Feedback number, and my bug! Apple deemed it important enough to fix and to highlight. My internet fame grows. ;-) We’ll see if Apple updates my bug report. As of now, it still says, “Recent Similar Reports: None” and “Resolution: Open.” Anyway, I thank the anonymous Apple employees who made this happy day possible.
