Really pleasing - though the most surprising thing was learning a forward slash is a valid character in a domain name. Are there any real world examples?

- kevincox 4y agoDomain names can't have slashes. But I think the DNS protocol just works with binary strings that are up to 255 bytes long (or was it 256?). So I guess most CLI DNS tools don't care if it is a valid domain name.
- teddyh 4y agoRFC 2317 (BCP 20) says to use it, but in my experience, everyone implementing this scheme uses a dash instead of a slash.
