DNSLink chaining not resolving properly

[jakehemmerle]

What we did

I assume the extension is using this lib under the hood. IPFS Browser extension 0.11.0. The URL in browser (Brave) is ipns://wiki.polkadot.network , and I was also able to reproduce the error using a HTTP gateway (https://ipfs.w3f.community/ipns/wiki.polkadot.network).

Error

ipfs resolve -r /ipns/wiki.polkadot.network: could not resolve name: "wiki.polkadot.network" is missing a DNSLink record (https://docs.ipfs.io/concepts/dnslink/)

Expected behavior

browser -> _dnslink.wiki.polkadot.network -> _dnslink.polkadot-wiki.w3f.services -> resolve the wiki's hash

DNS TXT values

❯ dig +short TXT _dnslink.wiki.polkadot.network
"dnslink=/dnslink/polkadot-wiki.w3f.services"
                                                                                      
❯ dig +short TXT _dnslink.polkadot-wiki.w3f.services    
"dnslink=/ipfs/QmdncfsVm2h5Kqq9hPmU7oAVX2zTSVP3L869tgTbPYnsha"

Any misconfigurations on our part? Pretty sure we're doing it exactly how its described here. @ironoa

Hello, seems like the issue still needs to be triaged, thanks

Hey, apologies for slow reply.

There is a bug in our docs at https://dnslink.dev, it should be /ipns/ instead of /dnslink (go-ipfs ignores things other than /ipns/ and /ipfs/.

You should update your TXT record to use /ipns/ content path:

- dnslink=/dnslink/polkadot-wiki.w3f.services
+ dnslink=/ipns/polkadot-wiki.w3f.services

and it should solve the problem.
