You can POST directly? an example would be nice... my "active domains"
robot has to login to get a cookie, and then proceed with "normal" web
operations... (I guess those operations might be combinable, much as the
API indicates for client operations)
Neil, I'm sure there are _lots_ of people on the list that could build a
"POST acceptor" for you, and just feed it through their account into
OpenSRS (for a markup of course) ... but as Charles points out, the phrase
"open" is part of the OpenSRS name for a reason... and not because they
support every environment... (and yes, the authorize.net technique does
look good)
