Bug #12604
closedWin32::Resolv.get_resolv_info returns unavailable DNS servers
Description
Win32::Resolv.get_resolv_info
returns a list of IP address that include DNS server for network devices that are not connected, causing long timeouts when using Resolv::DNS
(or Rubygems which uses Resolv::DNS
)
Win32::Resolv
scans the registry for DNS server addresses. Unfortunatly, if some of your network devices are not currently connected, the old DNS information is still stored in registry. So get_resolv_info
still returns it. This can cause very long timeouts when using Resolv::DNS
(e.g. rubygems). For example, a simple 'gem install' on my machine would take over a minute, because of several timeouts waiting for DNS.
Example:
irb(main):024:0> Win32::Resolv.get_resolv_info
=> [["mynet", "mycompany.local", "local"], ["192.168.1.1", "172.27.0.1", "8.8.8.8", "8.8.4.4", "192.168.101.10", "192.168.101.11"]]
- 192.168.1.1 is the DNS server from my home Wifi (not currently connected)
- 172.27.0.1 is the DNS server from a router I had connected via an USB Ethernet Device a week ago
- 8.8.8.8 is from the same as above (but incidentally works, since it is available)
- 192.168.101.10+11 are the actual current DNS server
I think a solution could be to rely on GetAdapterAddresses()
in the Win32 API instead to get the IP address of DNS server.
As a workaround for users affected by this is to remove unconnected Interfaces from HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces
in the registry.

Maybe, does GetNetworkParams()
work?

I can't find an API to achieve the DNS search list.

I reverted r57571 at r57626. r57571 broke RubyCI on vc12-x64.
http://13.78.52.201/vc12-x64/ruby-2.3/log/20170207T182419Z.log.html.gz
I cannot have time to see in details to fix it just now, I temporarily reverted it.
