Struct DnsResponse

pub struct DnsResponse(/* private fields */);

A DNS response object

For Most DNS requests, only one response is expected, the exception is a multicast request.

Implementations

impl DnsResponse

pub fn soa(&self) -> Option<&Record>

Retrieves the SOA from the response. This will only exist if it was an authoritative response.

pub fn negative_ttl(&self) -> Option<u32>

Looks in the authority section for an SOA record from the response, and returns the negative_ttl, None if not available.

[RFC 2308](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2308#section-5) DNS NCACHE March 1998

5 - Caching Negative Answers

  Like normal answers negative answers have a time to live (TTL).  As
  there is no record in the answer section to which this TTL can be
  applied, the TTL must be carried by another method.  This is done by
  including the SOA record from the zone in the authority section of
  the reply.  When the authoritative server creates this record its TTL
  is taken from the minimum of the SOA.MINIMUM field and SOA's TTL.
  This TTL decrements in a similar manner to a normal cached answer and
  upon reaching zero (0) indicates the cached negative answer MUST NOT
  be used again.

  A negative answer that resulted from a name error (NXDOMAIN) should
  be cached such that it can be retrieved and returned in response to
  another query for the same <QNAME, QCLASS> that resulted in the
  cached negative response.

  A negative answer that resulted from a no data error (NODATA) should
  be cached such that it can be retrieved and returned in response to
  another query for the same <QNAME, QTYPE, QCLASS> that resulted in
  the cached negative response.

  The NXT record, if it exists in the authority section of a negative
  answer received, MUST be stored such that it can be be located and
  returned with SOA record in the authority section, as should any SIG
  records in the authority section.  For NXDOMAIN answers there is no
  "necessary" obvious relationship between the NXT records and the
  QNAME.  The NXT record MUST have the same owner name as the query
  name for NODATA responses.

  Negative responses without SOA records SHOULD NOT be cached as there
  is no way to prevent the negative responses looping forever between a
  pair of servers even with a short TTL.

  Despite the DNS forming a tree of servers, with various mis-
  configurations it is possible to form a loop in the query graph, e.g.
  two servers listing each other as forwarders, various lame server
  configurations.  Without a TTL count down a cache negative response
  when received by the next server would have its TTL reset.  This
  negative indication could then live forever circulating between the
  servers involved.

  As with caching positive responses it is sensible for a resolver to
  limit for how long it will cache a negative response as the protocol
  supports caching for up to 68 years.  Such a limit should not be
  greater than that applied to positive answers and preferably be
  tunable.  Values of one to three hours have been found to work well
  and would make sensible a default.  Values exceeding one day have
  been found to be problematic.

pub fn edns(&self) -> Option<&Edns>

👎Deprecated: Please use extensions()

RFC 6891, EDNS(0) Extensions, April 2013

6.1.1.  Basic Elements

 An OPT pseudo-RR (sometimes called a meta-RR) MAY be added to the
 additional data section of a request.

 The OPT RR has RR type 41.

 If an OPT record is present in a received request, compliant
 responders MUST include an OPT record in their respective responses.

 An OPT record does not carry any DNS data.  It is used only to
 contain control information pertaining to the question-and-answer
 sequence of a specific transaction.  OPT RRs MUST NOT be cached,
 forwarded, or stored in or loaded from Zone Files.

 The OPT RR MAY be placed anywhere within the additional data section.
 When an OPT RR is included within any DNS message, it MUST be the
 only OPT RR in that message.  If a query message with more than one
 OPT RR is received, a FORMERR (RCODE=1) MUST be returned.  The
 placement flexibility for the OPT RR does not override the need for
 the TSIG or SIG(0) RRs to be the last in the additional section
 whenever they are present.

Return value

Optionally returns a reference to EDNS section

pub fn edns_mut(&mut self) -> &mut Edns

 at the end of the query. Such SIGs are identified by having a "type
 covered" field of zero. They sign the preceding DNS request message
 including DNS header but not including the IP header or any request
 SIGs at the end and before the request RR counts have been adjusted
 for the inclusions of any request SIG(s).

Return value

Methods from Deref<Target = Header>

pub fn flags(&self) -> Flags

A method to get all header flags (useful for Display purposes)

pub fn id(&self) -> u16

ID              A 16 bit identifier assigned by the program that
                generates any kind of query.  This identifier is copied
                the corresponding reply and can be used by the requester
                to match up replies to outstanding queries.

pub fn message_type(&self) -> MessageType

QR              A one bit field that specifies whether this message is a
                query (0), or a response (1).

pub fn op_code(&self) -> OpCode

OPCODE          A four bit field that specifies kind of query in this
                message.  This value is set by the originator of a query
                and copied into the response.  The values are: <see super::op_code>

pub fn authoritative(&self) -> bool

AA              Authoritative Answer - this bit is valid in responses,
                and specifies that the responding name server is an
                authority for the domain name in question section.

                Note that the contents of the answer section may have
                multiple owner names because of aliases.  The AA bit
                corresponds to the name which matches the query name, or
                the first owner name in the answer section.

pub fn truncated(&self) -> bool

TC              TrunCation - specifies that this message was truncated
                due to length greater than that permitted on the
                transmission channel.

pub fn recursion_desired(&self) -> bool

RD              Recursion Desired - this bit may be set in a query and
                is copied into the response.  If RD is set, it directs
                the name server to pursue the query recursively.
                Recursive query support is optional.

pub fn recursion_available(&self) -> bool

RA              Recursion Available - this be is set or cleared in a
                response, and denotes whether recursive query support is
                available in the name server.

pub fn authentic_data(&self) -> bool

RFC 4035, DNSSEC Resource Records, March 2005

3.1.6.  The AD and CD Bits in an Authoritative Response

  The CD and AD bits are designed for use in communication between
  security-aware resolvers and security-aware recursive name servers.
  These bits are for the most part not relevant to query processing by
  security-aware authoritative name servers.

  A security-aware name server does not perform signature validation
  for authoritative data during query processing, even when the CD bit
  is clear.  A security-aware name server SHOULD clear the CD bit when
  composing an authoritative response.

  A security-aware name server MUST NOT set the AD bit in a response
  unless the name server considers all RRsets in the Answer and
  Authority sections of the response to be authentic.  A security-aware
  name server's local policy MAY consider data from an authoritative
  zone to be authentic without further validation.  However, the name
  server MUST NOT do so unless the name server obtained the
  authoritative zone via secure means (such as a secure zone transfer
  mechanism) and MUST NOT do so unless this behavior has been
  configured explicitly.

  A security-aware name server that supports recursion MUST follow the
  rules for the CD and AD bits given in Section 3.2 when generating a
  response that involves data obtained via recursion.

pub fn checking_disabled(&self) -> bool

see is_authentic_data()

pub fn response_code(&self) -> ResponseCode

RCODE           Response code - this 4 bit field is set as part of
                responses.  The values have the following
                interpretation: <see super::response_code>
