<p>The following examples show three DNS TXT resource records: the first indicates support for the httpbind connection method defined in XEP-0124 including the appropriate URL, the second indicates support for the httppoll connection method defined in XEP-0025 including the appropriate URL, and the third indicates support for WAP connections including the appropriate URL, and the fourth indicates support for the older, SSL-only connection method for clients.</p>

<p>Note: These examples are included for the sake of completeness. As mentioned, use of the "_xmpp-client-tcp" and "_xmpp-server-tcp" attributes is discouraged, since SRV records are preferred.</p>

<section1 topic='Security Considerations' anchor='security'>
<p>It is possible that advertisement of connection methods other than the standard TCP connection method may introduce security vulnerabilities, since a connecting entity (usually a client) might deliberately seek to connect using the method with the weakest security mechanisms (e.g., no channel encryption or relatively weak authentication). Care must be taken in determining which connection methods are appropriate to advertise.</p>
