This PR makes it possible to configure LDK-Node as a DNS resolver for other nodes.

Changes

  • Added a bool flag named is_hrn_resolver to Config.
  • Based on the value of is_hrn_resolver, a new node either has the ability to send payments to HRNs or do DNS resolution for other nodes.
  • Expanded setup_two_nodes in the integration test suite to allow configuring a node to act as a DNS resolver for other nodes.
  • Added an end-to-end test-case asserting that sending to HRNs works.

This PR fixes #436

This rename reflects that this module is a unified payment interface for both QR code payments and HRN payments passed in as a string without scanning a QR code
…UnifiedPaymentResult

These renamings are necessary to reflect the expanded responsibilities for this module.
This commit adds a HRN Resolver to the Node struct which will be useful for resolving HRNs when making BIP 353 payments. It also passes the HRN Resolver into UnifiedPayment.
This commit allows us to enable our node to either be able to send HRN resolution requests or acts as a resolver for 3rd party nodes

We also pass HRNResolver as an optional parameter to Node
This commit will be dropped later
This commit adds an end-to-end test that asserts that HRNs are properly parsed and resolved, and sending to the corresponding offer works

👋 Hi! I see this is a draft PR.
I'll wait to assign reviewers until you mark it as ready for review.
Just convert it out of draft status when you're ready for review!

This PR builds upon #607. It is currently opened in draft because the end-to-end test I added runs indefinitely without resolving or timing out.

First look at the additional changes here, had to cut the review round short though.

Hmm, I think over at the first PR we discussed to introduce a dedicated config for HRN-related things, also to specify default resolvers, for example? Probably this should be part of such a config?

Yes we did - I'll re-introduce the dedicated config for HRN-related things.

We probably want to make the DNS server used configurable via the config?

Yeah - will do, just left this here because I am still debugging the issue with the end-to-end test not resolving HRNs, erroring out or timing out.

Huh, so if we're resolving for others, we won't be able to send to HRNs ourselves?

From my understanding, it seems this is the case. The onion messenger can take only one type of dns_resolver at a time - either the one sending out the query or the one handling the query and responding with the proof. If our node is configured to resolve for others, we'd have to pass the appropriate resolver to the onion messenger, preventing us from sending to HRNs ourselves.
