Websites can now use Javascript to send DNS queries, yay! But besides “yay!”, can you give me some actual use cases for that?

Are you talking about DNS-over-HTTPS, or an actual exposed JavaScript API for controlling the stub resolver?

DoH. That’s one of its selling points. I was about to write a TS library for it when I realized that I couldn’t come with an actual use case.

I don't think it will actually be used by websites, but here you go anyway: source of truth for custom load balancing / AB testing in the edge side code or in browsers.

You still can’t create sockets, or set SNI; the only way to connect to something is by using a host name. So how would you do that?

So far I haven’t seen any valid example. Nothing that cannot be already achieved by sending data in HTTP responses.

Again, as I said, I don't think this will be used by websites, but edge side code and browsers. You don't have to care about host names if you're either of that.

On these, you don’t need DoH to resolve names either.
