    dns_core: Allow zero-length DNS responses. · 86034227
    Mark Michelson authored
    A testsuite test recently failed due to a crash that occurred in the DNS
    core. The problem was that the test could not resolve an address, did
    not set a result on the DNS query, and then indicated the query was
    completed. The DNS core does not handle the case of a query with no
    result gracefully, and so there is a crash.
    
    This changeset makes the DNS system resolver set a result with a
    zero-length answer in the case that a DNS resolution failure occurs
    early. The DNS core now also will accept such a response without
    treating it as invalid input. A unit test was updated to no longer treat
    setting a zero-length response as off-nominal.
