Descripción
## Summary
`libcloud.dns.types` defines a RecordType 'URL'. However, no such RR Type exists in DNS. Likely, this is supposed to refer to the 'URI' RR Type.
## Detailed Information
The authoritative list of DNS RR types is https://www.iana.org/assignments/dns-parameters/dns-parameters.xhtml. There is no 'URL' RR type in this list. There is a 'URI' RR type in this list, as defined in [RFC 7553](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7553)
This RecordType is defined in 4 places in libcloud:
[libcloud.dns.types, line 112](https://github.com/apache/libcloud/blob/trunk/libcloud/dns/types.py#L112):
```
URL = 'URL'
```
[libcloud.dns.drivers.cloudflare, line 171](https://github.com/apache/libcloud/blob/trunk/libcloud/dns/drivers/cloudflare.py#L171): [sic!]
```
RecordType.URL: 'LOC'
```
According to the [Cloudflare API documentation](https://api.cloudflare.com/#dns-records-for-a-zone-create-dns-record), the correct name should indeed be `'URI'`.
[libcloud.dns.drivers.dnsimple, line 57](https://github.com/apache/libcloud/blob/trunk/libcloud/dns/drivers/dnsimple.py#L57)
```
RecordType.URL: 'URL',
```
This seems correct. [DNSsimple indeed has a proprietory URL record](https://support.dnsimple.com/articles/url-record/).
[`libcloud.dns.drivers.zerigo`, line 142](https://github.com/apache/libcloud/blob/trunk/libcloud/dns/drivers/zerigo.py#L142)
```
RecordType.URL: 'URL',
```
http://www.zerigo.com gives an error. I get the impression this API is no longer functional.
Suggested Resolution
-----------
~~My suggestion is to change these occurrences into `'URI'`~~
I stand corrected, DNSsimple does indeed has a proprietory URL record type. However, Cloudflare does not.
My suggestion is to either remove support for the URI RR type at Cloudflare (it will likely not have worked due to the incorrect `'LOC'` string), or to add support for the URI RR type next to the (unofficial) URL RR type.
I'm happy to create a PR once there is consensus about the best approach to fix this.
Guía de contribución
Línea de trabajo
Revisa libcloud/dns/types.py y los mappings de los drivers de Cloudflare, DNSimple y Zerigo citados en la issue; después, compara los tipos de registro documentados de cada proveedor. Resuelve el comportamiento específico de cada proveedor para URL frente a URI y corrige el mapping inconsistente de Cloudflare o las definiciones de los registros compatibles; se considerará terminado cuando los mappings reflejen correctamente las API de los proveedores citados y los estándares de DNS.
