did you guys break the sslbot again? (doesn't look like it. :) I had to
write another one for a different supplier and came up with a much more
robust page parsing algorithm... :-) [split out the tables, then split out
the rows... then parse the rows] Almost looking forward to rewriting that
sslbot script :-)
Considering that forcing clients to write robot scripts to pound your
servers into the dirt is a just generally a bad idea, and a simple text
output screen to dump everything would be _trivial_ to write... you guys
don't make this easy... (I know we've discussed this before, and I don't
hold you responsible Chuck.... :)
That said, I have no real desire to grab all the customer fields, and I
would probably do that via a whois lookup instead anyway... much easier to
parse text output than HTML, and it should be faster than using an SSL
connection.
Taking it from that point of view, the sslbot link shown below is a fine
starting point, parsing whois output is trivial compared to handling the
RWI authentication and parsing HTML ... e.g. use the sslbot to get the
list of domains, then write a short script to hit the whois server for
each domain listed by the sslbot.
the only gotcha there is if OpenSRS gets upset because you pounded on
their whois server too many times.
