When IncludeAliases is true and the requested type itself is an alias type (CNAME/DNAME), this early alias short‑circuit makes HasMatchingAnswers treat any alias record as a match even if the filter/regexFilter doesn’t match, so ResolveFilter can no longer actually filter CNAME/DNAME responses. This shows up when callers use ResolveFilter(..., DnsRecordType.CNAME, "nomatch", new ResolveFilterOptions(true)): the response is still considered a match. Consider only short‑circuiting aliases when answer.Type != type or moving alias inclusion after the filter check so alias queries still respect the filter.

Pull request overview
This PR introduces ResolveFilterOptions to provide more flexible control over alias record inclusion in DNS filtering operations. The key change is adding a new IncludeAliases option that allows CNAME and DNAME records to be included in filtered results alongside matching records of the requested type.
Key changes:
- Adds
ResolveFilterOptionsrecord struct withIncludeAliasesproperty - Updates all
ResolveFiltermethod overloads to accept optionalResolveFilterOptionsparameter - Enhances filtering logic to conditionally include alias records based on options

DnsClientX/DnsClientX.ResolveFilter.cs:293
- The FilterAnswers method does not handle null or empty filter strings properly. When includeAliases is true and non-alias answers exist, the code will attempt to call ToLowerInvariant() on a potentially null filter at lines 274 and 290, causing a NullReferenceException. Additionally, an empty string filter would match all records due to Contains("") returning true for all strings. The method should add a null/empty check for filter before performing string operations on non-alias answers.
private DnsAnswer[] FilterAnswers(DnsAnswer[] answers, string filter, DnsRecordType type, bool includeAliases) {
var filteredAnswers = new List<DnsAnswer>();
foreach (var answer in answers) {
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(answer.Data)) {
continue;
}
if (includeAliases && IsAliasRecordType(answer.Type)) {
filteredAnswers.Add(answer);
continue;
}
if (answer.Type != type) {
continue;
}
if (type == DnsRecordType.TXT && answer.Type == DnsRecordType.TXT) {
// For TXT records, check if any line contains the filter
var lines = answer.Data.Split(new[] { '\n', '\r' }, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries);
var matchingLines = lines.Where(line => line.ToLowerInvariant().Contains(filter.ToLowerInvariant())).ToArray();
if (matchingLines.Length > 0) {
// Create a new answer with only the matching lines
var filteredAnswer = new DnsAnswer {
Name = answer.Name,
Type = answer.Type,
TTL = answer.TTL,
DataRaw = answer.DataRaw
};
// Override the Data property to return only matching lines
filteredAnswer.SetFilteredData(string.Join("\n", matchingLines));
filteredAnswers.Add(filteredAnswer);
}
} else {
// For non-TXT records, use the original logic
if (answer.Data.ToLowerInvariant().Contains(filter.ToLowerInvariant())) {
filteredAnswers.Add(answer);
}
}
DnsClientX/DnsClientX.ResolveFilter.cs:394
- The HasMatchingAnswers method has the same null/empty filter handling issue as FilterAnswers. When includeAliases is true and non-alias answers exist, the code will attempt to call ToLowerInvariant() on a potentially null filter at lines 386 and 391, causing a NullReferenceException. The method should add a null/empty check for filter before performing string operations on non-alias answers.
private bool HasMatchingAnswers(DnsAnswer[] answers, string filter, DnsRecordType type, bool includeAliases) {
if (answers == null) {
return false;
}
foreach (var answer in answers) {
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(answer.Data)) {
continue;
}
if (includeAliases && IsAliasRecordType(answer.Type)) {
return true;
}
if (answer.Type != type) {
continue;
}
if (type == DnsRecordType.TXT && answer.Type == DnsRecordType.TXT) {
var lines = answer.Data.Split(new[] { '\n', '\r' }, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries);
var matchingLines = lines.Where(line => line.ToLowerInvariant().Contains(filter.ToLowerInvariant())).ToArray();
if (matchingLines.Length > 0) {
return true;
}

When includeAliases is true and filter is null or empty, FilterAnswers is called which will cause a NullReferenceException at lines 274 and 290 when calling filter.ToLowerInvariant(). The FilterAnswers method should check if the filter is null or empty before attempting string operations on it, or the condition should be updated to ensure FilterAnswers is not called with null/empty filters unless specifically intended.
| response.Answers = FilterAnswers(response.Answers, filter, type, options.IncludeAliases); | |
| response.Answers = FilterAnswers(response.Answers, filter ?? string.Empty, type, options.IncludeAliases); |
* Introduced new test cases to ensure alias answers are correctly handled when filters are empty or null. * Updated `ResolveFilter` method to treat null filters as empty and maintain alias inclusion functionality. * Enhanced filtering logic to respect alias types while querying.

Root Cause: Although line 50 and 192 have Recommendation: Add null checks in the private methods: // In FilterAnswers and HasMatchingAnswers methods

❌ Critical Issues Summary
✅ Final RecommendationCONDITIONAL APPROVE - This is a well-implemented feature with excellent design, but the null reference issue is critical and must be fixed before merging. The implementation demonstrates:
Required fixes before merge:
Optional improvements:
The feature adds valuable functionality and follows project standards well, but the null reference issue prevents immediate approval. |
* Ensure `filter` is not null by defaulting to an empty string. * Optimize filter comparison by converting it to lowercase once. * Update logic for filtering TXT records to enhance performance.
