can I provide invalid HTTPS values for testing?

Stephen,

I would suggest to write a specialized DNS server using dnspython rather than trying to cram the crap into existing DNS servers.

Then it should be possible to use something like this: https://hypothesis.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ to generate the test cases automatically.

Cheers,
