Receive malformed packet from authoritative name server when request with edns0, and retry with edns0 again

Created attachment 260 [details] example of malformed packet Some authoritative name server doesn't support edns well, when unbound send a request to it, it response with a malformed packet. If I request this server without edns, it response with a normal packet. unbound detect by checking NOTIMPL or FORMERR flag, but the malformed packet do not contain these flag, so function servied_udp_callback treat it like a normal packet, but unbound fail to parse this packet. Then unbound retry with edns0, and fail again, and again... I'm not sure it's a bug, but I think it's better to send to the authoritative name server a request without edns after receiving a malformed packet from the server. There's an example in the attachment.The domain name is 126.com.cn, and the authoritative name server is 121.10.242.101.
Hi Chenfzh, Yes that is an interesting improvement in EDNS support detection. The packet is malformed, but is good if the additional-rr-count had been 1. Best regards, Wouter
I tried to let the serviced_query.status do not be serviced_query_UDP_EDNS any more if unbound received malformed packet before, but I didn't find out a suitable way to implement it. I modified function parse_section in util/data/msgparse.c to make it work (so far), but I think that's not a good solution.
