Absolutely. I'll try to help out and respond if I can and time permits!

I've put together a little tool to help debugging that I call dns2doh which 
uses dig under the hood and can produce both DOH queries and DOH responses on 
the command line:

  https://github.com/bagder/dns2doh

With this, I've also written some basic CGIs on my https server to act as a 
DOH server and it has helped me to try out things like a server that denies A 
records but serves AAAA records etc.


Oh, and if you want to check out or just compare how Firefox does DOH and want 
to know what knobs and options we have under the hood to support it, check out 
this gist that so far is basically the only docs of it that exists:

  https://gist.github.com/bagder/5e29101079e9ac78920ba2fc718aceec

DOH support in Firefox is still only available in Nightly and it might of 
course change a bit before it reaches the release version...
