Description

Periodically, (every two weeks?) the client should try to auto-discover Dat sources for all unique HTTPS feed domains. This helps inform web publishers that there is interest in Dat, and t helps users migrate from HTTPS to Dat.

I’m not sure you can do the DNS-based auto-discovery method, but you should at least be able to use the `https://{domain}/.well-known/dat` mechanism.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are identified in the issue, so start by locating the client’s HTTPS feed handling and existing Dat discovery code. Define the periodic check for unique HTTPS feed domains, including the .well-known/dat mechanism; completion should include the discovery behavior and tests for its schedule and results.
