Summary
The documentation page demonstrates Windows bias primarily in the troubleshooting section for SocketException, where only a PowerShell example (nslookup) is provided and the command prompt path (PS C:\>) is shown. There are no equivalent Linux/macOS command examples (e.g., dig, host, nslookup on bash), nor is there mention of Linux troubleshooting patterns. The documentation also references .NET and Windows-centric concepts (ServicePointManager, OS update) without clarifying cross-platform applicability, but the most direct evidence is the exclusive use of Windows/PowerShell tools for DNS resolution.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent Linux/macOS command examples for DNS resolution (e.g., 'nslookup', 'dig', or 'host' in bash/zsh).
  • When showing PowerShell or Windows command prompt examples, also show the corresponding bash/zsh shell prompt and output.
  • Clarify that troubleshooting steps apply to all platforms, and note any platform-specific differences.
  • Explicitly mention cross-platform compatibility for .NET client libraries and exception handling.
  • Add troubleshooting guidance for common Linux networking issues (e.g., checking /etc/resolv.conf, using 'ping', 'traceroute').
