Well, the DNS info was being submitted correctly (accoring to the API
specs). I just happened to use non-existent nameservers.
Besides, what you just said contradicts Frank:
"You're allowed to register domains without nameservice."
Which is it?

The scripts don't check for bogus nameservers before trying to register a
domain name. They only check to see that you've supplied two nameservers.
FWIW, here is the command I sent:
[action] => register
[object] => domain
[cookie] =>
[attributes] => Array
(
[domain] => joe-test.com
[period] => 1
[reg_username] => cmv
[reg_password] => cmv
[contact_set] => Array
(
[owner] => Array
(
[first_name] => Joe
[last_name] => Test
[org_name] => Joe Test
[address1] => 1 Main Street
[address2] =>
[address3] =>
[city] => Toronto
[state] => ON
[country] => CA
[postal_code] => M1M 1M1
[phone] => 416-555-1212
[fax] =>
[email] => [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[url] =>

[admin] => Array
(
[first_name] => Joe
[last_name] => Test
[org_name] => Joe Test
[address1] => 1 Main Street
[address2] =>
[address3] =>
[city] => Toronto
[state] => ON
[country] => CA
[postal_code] => M1M 1M1

[postal_code] => M1M 1M1
[phone] => 416-555-1212

)
[nameserver_list] => Array
(
[0] => Array
(

[sort_order] => 1
)
[1] => Array
(
[name] => dns2.this-is-a-bogus-nameserver.com
[sort_order] => 2
)
)
[affiliate_id] => total
)
And here is the response:
[is_success] => 1
[protocol] => XCP
[_OPS_msg_type] => standard
[object] => REGISTER
[_OPS_msg_id] => 246.989437675142
[response_text] => Domain registration successfully completed
[response_code] => 200
[action] => REPLY
[_OPS_version] => 0.9
I get the same response on the test and the live environments ... that cost
me $10 to test too! :) Do a "whois [EMAIL PROTECTED]" to see.
Finally, the one thing you missed: why my modify_domain commands are failing
with "Fatal Server Errors":

I'm really hoping there is a better channel to talk to the API developers
then by sending email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No offense, but I'm sure the
majority of people who answer support emails aren't completely versed in the
API internals. As it is, I wait about 24 hours before my email gets to
someone who can answer. This is slowing down development on our side
considerably.
