Cloudfare DNS over HTTPS

See more Cloudfare Examples

Cloudflare offers a DNS over HTTPS resolver at: https://cloudflare-dns.com/dns-query

This example demonstrates how to do a DNS lookup for a domain using Cloudfare's HTTPS resolver.

JavaScript

// This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

var http = new CkHttp();

// Send the following CURL request:   curl -H 'accept: application/dns-json' 'https://cloudflare-dns.com/dns-query?name=chilkat.io&type=A'

http.Accept = "application/dns-json";

var url = "https://cloudflare-dns.com/dns-query?name=chilkat.io&type=A";

var jsonResp = http.QuickGetStr(url);
if (http.LastMethodSuccess !== true) {
    console.log(http.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

console.log("Response Status Code: " + http.LastStatus);

var json = new CkJsonObject();
json.Load(jsonResp);
json.EmitCompact = false;
console.log(json.Emit());

if (http.LastStatus !== 200) {
    console.log("Failed.");
    return;
}

// Sample output...
