Summary

So I'm currently debugging paritytech/substrate#12024 and what I found is I don't really understand how secure WS transport (/wss) is supposed to work.

I give it an address like /dns/polkadot-boot.dwellir.com/tcp/443/wss/p2p/<nodeID> and expect it to connect. However, I get an error saying invalid multi-address: /dns/polkadot-boot.dwellir.com/tcp/443/p2p/<nodeID> address is invalid from inner TCP transport. Am I supposed to supply DNS as an inner transport if I want to support /wss addresses? Documentation is rather scarse.

Expected behaviour

I'd expect for WSS transport to work kinda.

Actual behaviour

Possible Solution

Use DNS transport as inner T when creating WSS transport.
