DNS queries sometimes experience problems with end-to-end connectivity at times and places where HTTPS flows freely. The use of HTTPS provides integrity and confidentiality, and it also allows the transport to interoperate with common HTTPS infrastructure and policy. The working group will standardize how HTTPS clients can encode DNS queries and interpret DNS responses. The working group will use best-practice HTTPS semantics. Specification of how the DNS data may used for new use cases, and the discovery of the DOH servers, are out of scope for the working group. The working group will begin its work based on draft-hoffman-dispatch-dns-over-https. The working group will deliver a document describing how to obtain and interpret DNS information using the HTTPS protocol, with an IETF Last Call expected in December 2017.
