Get IP address of domain or make DNS request using WebAssembly
0
Is it possible to use WebAssembly to make DNS requests or get the IP address of a domain name? If not in a website, what about through a browser plugin? I've seen that JavaScript doesn't allow making DNS requests or even grabbing the current IP of the domain you've connected even though the browser itself has that data. I've also seen you can make DNS requests in Node.js so I wonder, because WebAssembly has a different feature-set from in-browser JS, does it also have some server-side capabilities that would allow for either making DNS requests or listening in on the browsers' DNS responses?
