[Dnsmasq-discuss] dnsmasq (pihole) caching of HTTPS requested

[george at high-two.com]

HTTPS is not a DNS record, so there is nothing to cache.

When you reference an URL, an HTTPS record, your system will have to
look up the system name to do that.  That system name is in a DNS A
record (or AAAA if you are using IPv6).
