Thanks Ben, you were probably replying to:
"* for domain:info you have the hosts boolean with 3 values, not all registries
are supporting all 3 cases."
which indeed even at 2:38 AM is sloppy, so let me try to rephrase that, even if
I am sure that everyone fixed it already:
in RFC5731 you have this explanation for a domain:info
(so I should put that in the other thread in fact, mea culpa)
" An OPTIONAL "hosts" attribute is
available to control return of information describing hosts
related to the domain object. A value of "all" (the default,
which MAY be absent) returns information describing both
subordinate and delegated hosts. A value of "del" returns
information describing only delegated hosts. A value of "sub"
returns information describing only subordinate hosts. A value of
"none" returns no information describing delegated or subordinate
hosts."
(so in fact it is 4 values, not 3, even less a boolean I guess :-))
Not all registries accept all of these values (again you can argue they are not
following the standard, I am not judging that in one way or another just
letting people know what exists really today), so you might want to track that
in the registry mapping.
Sorry again for my sloppiness at 2:38 AM.
