This function received an HTTP request from a YunoHost instance while this
server is hosted on our infrastructure. The expected request body is:
{"domain": "domain-to-check.tld"} and the method POST
The general workflow is the following:
- grab the ip from the request
- check for ip based rate limit (see RATE_LIMIT_SECONDS value)
- get json from body and domain from it
- check for domain based rate limit (see RATE_LIMIT_SECONDS value)
- check domain is in valid format
- check dns entry for domain match the ip of the request (advanced rule for ipv6)
- everything is checked, now try to do an http request on the domain
- answer saying if the domain can be reached
