Comment(by jinmei):
Replying to [comment:1 zhanglikun]:
> Is there one RFC talking about case-sensitive compress mode. I have read
RFC4343, and didn't find the word "MUST" to the use of case-sensitive
compress mode for AXFR, or it's suggested in "DNS Zone Transfer Protocol
(AXFR) draft-ietf-dnsext-axfr-clarify-14"?
It's in axfr-clarify:
{{{
Hence, name compression in an AXFR message SHOULD be performed in a
case-preserving manner, unlike how it is done for 'normal' DNS
responses. That is, although when comparing a domain name for
}}}
(in 3.4. Name Compression)
but my understanding is that this is a "clarification" document, and just
reflects the common understanding of the original spec (RFC1034/1035).
p.s. when you work on it, please don't forget writing tests first:-)
