GitHubUse correct example domains by edent · Pull Request #16270 · curl/curl
@bagder This is def good. I have spent ridiculous amounts of time making equivalent suggestions to use example domains in standards docs, incl at ISO/IEC.
@bagder TIL that there is a .example top level domain.
@pbarker It is reserved by RFC: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc2606
edit: actually that's too bad that this PR uses example[.]com instead
@bagder
IETF DatatrackerRFC 2606: Reserved Top Level DNS NamesTo reduce the likelihood of conflict and confusion, a few top level domain names are reserved for use in private testing, as examples in documentation, and the like. In addition, a few second level domain names reserved for use as examples are documented. This document specifies an Internet Best Current Practices for the Internet Community, and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements.
@Exagone313 @bagder example.com is also reserved by RFC: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6761
IETF DatatrackerRFC 6761: Special-Use Domain NamesThis document describes what it means to say that a Domain Name (DNS name) is reserved for special use, when reserving such a name is appropriate, and the procedure for doing so. It establishes an IANA registry for such domain names, and seeds it with entries for some of the already established special domain names.
@Exagone313 @bagder infact, example.com is right there in section 3 of rfc2606.
