I should add that when I attempt a non-dns-message style query to my 
server's "/dns-query" DoH endpoint, I simply get a 404 "Not Found" error 
message, again using HTTP/2, and including Accept: headers for whatever 
DoH reply type the server wants, application/dns-json, 
application/dns+json, or application/dns-message.

https://unbound.example.org/dns-query-foo?name=google.com&type=A

   404 "Not Found"

I assume this query type isn't supported.  Am I assuming foolishly and 
should I instead be looking for a configuration typo?

         tls-service-key: "/foo/unbound/conf/cert.key"
         tls-service-pem: "/foo/unbound/conf/cert.pem"
         ...
         http-endpoint: "/dns-query"
