Specification for the unbound-control protocol.
Server listens on 8953 TCP (localhost by default). Client connects,
SSLv3 or TLSv1 connection setup (server selfsigned certificate,
client has cert signed by server certificate).
Port 8953 is registered with IANA as:
ub-dns-control 8953/tcp unbound dns nameserver control
# Wouter Wijngaards <wouter&nlnetlabs.nl> 10 May 2011
On may 11 2011, ticket [IANA #442315].
Query and Response
------------------
Client sends
UBCT[version] [commandline] \n
fixed string UBCT1 (for version 1), then an ascii text line,
with a command, some whitespace allowed. Line ends with '\n'.
Server executes command. And sends reply in ascii text over channel,
closes the channel when done.
in case of error the first line of the response is:
error <descriptive text possible> \n
or the remainder is data of the response, for many commands the
response is 'ok\n'.
