[jira] [Commented] (TS-4576) Move the OS_DNS API hook to before DNS resolution

["James Peach (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TS-4576?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15348812#comment-15348812 ] 

James Peach commented on TS-4576:
---------------------------------

I thought about this some more. It seems really complex to move this hook, and the way it works is consistent with all the other hooks. That is, the API hook is called immediately after the state machine event (eg. you get "read headers" after the headers have been read).

I can satisfy my use case without this, so not to be fixed.

> Right now, the {{OS_DNS}} API hook happens after DNS is resolved, which makes it fairly difficult to inject your own IP address for a transaction.
> Move the API hook to before DNS happens so that plugins get a chance to pre-resolve DNS by setting the server address.
