No need to do manual/extra DNS queries to verify certificates via DANE.
GnuTLS has DANE validation build in
<https://www.gnutls.org/manual/html_node/Verifying-a-certificate-using-DANE.html>
and OpenSSL has that as well
<https://www.openssl.org/docs/man1.1.0/man3/SSL_dane_enable.html>
This is great news, but on an other subthread Stephane said:
This is certainly the best solution, technically
speaking. Unfortunately, adding DANE support to your Gemini client
typically requires some effort, the existing libraries are typically
not sufficient. (Full disclosure: I did not even add DANE support to
my own Gemini client, despites the fact I'm strongly pro-DANE.)
Who is right?
I would feel really comfortable building on a existing bloc like DANE as this way there is a lot more chance to see libraries supporting it than if we use something Gemini-specific.
