		profmonocle on Nov 2, 2019 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: NeverSSL I'm not sure that's even true. RFC 6761 says "IANA currently maintains a web server providing a web page explaining the purpose of example domains." Saying "currently" implies it's not guaranteed to always be true. (Although it's more likely to stick around than a random domain registered by a hobbyist.)

"the domain will exist" does not mean "someone will run a web server there and respond to traffic", though.

Though I'm not exactly sure what it does mean. That it will have at least one DNS record?
