electron-httpdns

Sometimes we use the http-translating-domain-to-dns service provided by the cloud servicers(like Amazon Route 53, AlibabaCloud httpdns, Tencent Cloud httpdns) for avoiding dns-hijacking & improving the network performance. electron-httpdns is build as a middleware for the devlopers who wants to use the above domain-to-dns service in their electron applications.

Since i'm just working with AlibabaCloud httpdns right now, so it support only alibaba httpdns service currently.But TecentCloud provides a free httpdns service right now, so that'll be supported soon. Amazon Route 53 will be the last one in the future.

        type: 'ali', // defines which service you use, only support "ali" currently.
        secret: 'your-ali-httpdns-secret', // only required when you'r using alibaba-cloud
        accountId: 'your-ali-httpdns-accountId', // only required when you'r using alibaba-cloud
        servers: ['servers-ip-address-that-alibaba-cloud provided'] // there's some default ip address,so this one could be skipped.BUT, if you use it, it would replace the default servers(not concat).
        httpExecutor: async (url) => {
            // an http request that can accept an url string.
            // for example, axios.get
            return await axios.get(url) // and should return data formatted like this {ips: []}

    const resovler = dnsResolverManager(confg)
    resolver.resolve('domains.you.want.to.resolve').then(ip=>{

HttpDnsURL

Class HttpDnsURL is extended from URL. Add the ip attribute. And re-writes the href getter that use the ip to replace the hostname. And re-write host getter to return the origin-domain.

    import {HttpDnsURL} from 'electron-httpdns'
    const url = new HttpDnsURL('/path', 'http://something.com', {
        ip: '111.111.111.111'
    })
    console.log(url.href) // http://111.111.111.111/path
