+EDNS options
+============
+
+This example shows how to interact with EDNS options.
+
+When quering unbound with the EDNS option ``65001`` and data ``0xc001`` we
+expect an answer with the same EDNS option code and data ``0xdeadbeef``.
+
+
+Key parts
+~~~~~~~~~
+
+This example relies on the following functionalities:
+
+
+Registering EDNS options
+------------------------
+
+By registering EDNS options we can tune unbound's behavior when encountering a
+query with a known EDNS option. The two available options are:
+
+- ``bypass_cache_stage``: If set to ``True`` unbound will not try to answer
+ from cache. Instead execution is passed to the modules
+- ``no_aggregation``: If set to ``True`` unbound will consider this query
+ unique and will not aggregate it with similar queries
+
+Both values default to ``False``.
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+ if not register_edns_option(env, 65001, bypass_cache_stage=True,
+ no_aggregation=True):
+ log_info("python: Could not register EDNS option {}".format(65001))
+
+
+EDNS option lists
+-----------------
+
+EDNS option lists can be found in the :class:`module_qstate` class. There are
+four available lists in total:
+
+- :class:`module_qstate.edns_opts_front_in`: options that came from the client
+ side. **Should not** be changed
+- :class:`module_qstate.edns_opts_back_out`: options that will be sent to the
+ server side. Can be populated by edns literate modules
+- :class:`module_qstate.edns_opts_back_in`: options that came from the server
+ side. **Should not** be changed
+- :class:`module_qstate.edns_opts_front_out`: options that will be sent to the
+ client side. Can be populated by edns literate modules
+
+Each list element has the following members:
+
+- ``code``: the EDNS option code;
+- ``data``: the EDNS option data.
+
+
+Reading an EDNS option list
+...........................
+
+The lists' contents can be accessed in python by their ``_iter`` counterpart as
+an iterator:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+ if not edns_opt_list_is_empty(qstate.edns_opts_front_in):
+ for o in qstate.edns_opts_front_in_iter:
+ log_info("python: Code: {}, Data: '{}'".format(o.code,
+ "".join('{:02x}'.format(x) for x in o.data)))
+
+
+Writing to an EDNS option list
+..............................
+
+By appending to an EDNS option list we can add new EDNS options. The new
+element is going to be allocated in :class:`module_qstate.region`. The data
+**must** be represented with a python ``bytearray``:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+ b = bytearray.fromhex("deadbeef")
+ if not edns_opt_list_append(qstate.edns_opts_front_out,
+ o.code, b, qstate.region):
+ log_info("python: Could not append EDNS option {}".format(o.code))
+
+We can also remove an EDNS option code from an EDNS option list.
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+ if not edns_opt_list_remove(edns_opt_list, code):
+ log_info("python: Option code {} was not found in the "
+ "list.".format(code))
+
+.. note:: All occurences of the EDNS option code will be removed from the list:
+
+
+Controlling other modules' cache behavior
+-----------------------------------------
+
+During the modules' operation, some modules may interact with the cache
+(e.g., iterator). This behavior can be controlled by using the following
+:class:`module_qstate` flags:
+
+- :class:`module_qstate.no_cache_lookup`: Modules *operating after* this module
+ will not lookup the cache for an answer
+- :class:`module_qstate.no_cache_store`: Modules *operating after* this module
+ will not store the response in the cache
+
+Both values default to ``0``.
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+ def operate(id, event, qstate, qdata):
+ if (event == MODULE_EVENT_NEW) or (event == MODULE_EVENT_PASS):
+ # Detect if edns option code 56001 is present from the client side. If
+ # so turn on the flags for cache management.
+ if not edns_opt_list_is_empty(qstate.edns_opts_front_in):
+ log_info("python: searching for edns option code 65001 during NEW "
+ "or PASS event ")
+ for o in qstate.edns_opts_front_in_iter:
+ if o.code == 65001:
+ log_info("python: found edns option code 65001")
+ # Instruct other modules to not lookup for an
+ # answer in the cache.
+ qstate.no_cache_lookup = 1
+ log_info("python: enabled no_cache_lookup")
+
+ # Instruct other modules to not store the answer in
+ # the cache.
+ qstate.no_cache_store = 1
+ log_info("python: enabled no_cache_store")
+
+
+Testing
+~~~~~~~
+
+Run the Unbound server: ::
+
+ root@localhost$ unbound -dv -c ./test-edns.conf
+
+In case you use your own configuration file, don't forget to enable the Python
+module::
+
+ module-config: "validator python iterator"
+
+and use a valid script path::
+
+ python-script: "./examples/edns.py"
+
+Quering with EDNS option ``65001:0xc001``:
+
+::
+
+ root@localhost$ dig @localhost nlnetlabs.nl +ednsopt=65001:c001
+
+ ; <<>> DiG 9.10.3-P4-Ubuntu <<>> @localhost nlnetlabs.nl +ednsopt=65001:c001
