Not a fan of busy waiting (even if it's limited). Isn't there any blocking function or something like a signal?

You're asking for a Qt equivalent of AA/AAAA lookup for SRV names? (I'd guess all the Qt AA/AAAA lookup does is something very like this.)

Isn't there any blocking function

The existing code path uses QHostInfo::fromName, which is a blocking function. I haven't found any equivalent for SRV lookups.

or something like a signal?

The QDnsLookup, which I've used here, is supposed to be used via signals. However, this requires -- as far as I can see -- an inversion of the control flow as the existing logic relies on blocking. Even when that refactoring is done, new questions come up: How should the UI behave? Currently it blocks. If it continues to stay responsive during lookup, we would need some other kind of indicator, so that's kind of a rabbit hole. Not saying that it shouldn't be done, but rather that it's a larger refactoring which I didn't want to do as part of this PR.

In short: That's the best and least intrusive way I've found. If someone finds a better way, I'm certainly open to it. :)

QDnsServiceRecord record = records.first();
if ( record.target() == "." || record.target() == "" )
{
// RFC2782 says that "." indicates that the service is not available.
// Qt strips the trailing dot, which is why we check for empty string
// as well. Therefore, the "." part might be redundant, but this would
// need further testing to confirm.
// End processing here (= return true), but pass back an
// invalid HostAddress to let the connect logic fail properly.

Trying SRV first is the saner behavior. It comes at the cost that everyone has to do the SRV lookup and wait for the (possibly empty) reply.

Agreed. The DNS server should fail fairly fast if the entry isn't there. At worst it should double the lookup time.
