history
Project history and usage
doh is a small curl project utility: a stand-alone DNS-over-HTTPS resolver built on libcurl.
Project history
The curl/doh repository was created in April 2018, during the period when DNS-over-HTTPS was moving from emerging protocol work into practical client tooling. Its README describes a libcurl-using application that resolves host names through DoH and uses POST requests unconditionally.
The project has stayed deliberately small. GitHub lists a single 0.1 release from September 2019, while the README keeps the interface to a simple form: doh options, a host, and an optional DoH URL.
Adoption history
doh is more of a reference-quality utility from the curl orbit than a mass-adopted DNS client. Its adoption significance comes from being packaged and visible as a standalone libcurl DoH example at the exact layer where curl users think about HTTP transport behavior.
How it is used
The command resolves a hostname through a DoH server, defaulting to Cloudflare when no DoH URL is supplied. The README examples also show targeting Google's DoH endpoint explicitly.
Why package nerds care
For package maintainers, doh is interesting because it exposes DNS-over-HTTPS as a tiny installable command rather than as a feature hidden inside a larger resolver or browser stack. It is also a compact libcurl demonstration for network debugging.
Timeline
- 2018: curl/doh repository created.
- 2019: doh-0.1 release published.
- 2026: Repository still receives maintenance activity, but remains a compact single-purpose tool.
Related projects
- doh belongs to the curl/libcurl ecosystem and overlaps with DoH-capable DNS clients such as doggo and doge, while staying narrower than general DNS tools like dig.
