## 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.
