Research direction

Start by reviewing issue #19 and the repository's current DNS transport implementation to understand the TCP/IP dependency. Read RFC 7858 for the DNS-over-TLS requirements, then define how the feature fits the resolver; done means DNS queries can be sent over TLS in accordance with that RFC, with appropriate verification.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

help wanted new feature

All DNS queries are currently sent in plaintext over UDP sockets. There's an open issue to support querying via TCP/IP in #19.

Once this feature is in, we may want to support DNS over TLS as defined in RFC 7858. Once TCP/IP support is in, this should be fairly easy.
