# `--doh-url`

Specifies which DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH) server to use to resolve hostnames,
instead of using the default name resolver mechanism. The URL must be HTTPS.

Some SSL options that you set for your transfer also applies to DoH since the
name lookups take place over SSL. However, the certificate verification
settings are not inherited but are controlled separately via --doh-insecure
and --doh-cert-status.

This option is unset if an empty string "" is used as the URL.
