    Description

      We want to publish dns srv records and configure couchbase clients to use them as documented at:

      https://developer.couchbase.com/documentation/server/current/sdk/c/managing-connections.html

      However I ran into problems testing this. I'm using the python client 2.2.5 and libcouchbase 2.7.5 and a connection string like this:

      b = Bucket('couchbases://cbvt-demo.in-couchbase.ei-lca1.stg.linkedin.com/demo1?console_log_level=5&ssl=on')

      since I am specifying 'couchbases' protocol I would expect this to perform a dns srv look of _couchbases._tcp.cbvt-demo.in-couchbase.ei-lca1.stg.linkedin.com . However what I actually observe (via network packet captures) is that it is doing a lookup against _couchbase (lack of "s" at the end)

      So somehow the dns record string is being built up using the wrong protocol. As you can see from the above connection string I have even passed in ssl=on as a parameter to no avail. Here is console output of running my python script:

       

      (couchbase-tools)[bweir@bweir-ld couchbase-tools_trunk]$ ./new2.py
      0ms [I0] {27775} [INFO] (instance - L:412) Version=2.7.5, Changeset=09a9e28dfaf9f70a7e230de66909fc5d9f3a6b4f
      0ms [I0] {27775} [INFO] (instance - L:413) Effective connection string: couchbases://cbvt-demo.in-couchbase.ei-lca1.stg.linkedin.com/demo1?console_log
      _level=5&ssl=on. Bucket=demo1
      

      Meanwhile in another terminal here's my packet capture:

      [bweir@bweir-ld ~]$ sudo ngrep _couchbase port 53
      interface: eth0 (172.21.224.0/255.255.254.0)
      filter: ( port 53 ) and (ip or ip6)
      match: _couchbase
