Regarding the XML HTTPS interface, specifically 'action => renew'.
'currentexpirationyear' is a required argument. I may have missed
something, but it appears the only way I can programmatically retrieve
that value is via a get cookie request, then parsing the year from the
value.
<item key="object">COOKIE</item>
<item key="attributes">
<dt_assoc>
[...]
--> <item key="expiredate">2006-02-27 20:29:24</item>
</dt_assoc>
</item>
<item key="response_text">Command Successful</item>
[...]
In some cases, the XML return data doesn't have this information present
- such as today, when renewing a domain that was expiring tomorrow. Not
sure why the data wasn't present when the domain hadn't expired yet.
Why force the current exp year to be a required argument here? OpenSRS
already has this information on their end of things... it seems rather
arbitrary to require it from the client.
Thanks for any insight provided.
