Hi David,
you can specify your own URL so that the admin contact person will come to
your own web page to approve or deny the transfer (same for 'away'
transfers from another registrar), which gives you a bit more
flexibility.
There is no defined mechanism of how you then feed the info collected from
the user into the openSRS system to actually push the transfer through, up
to you:
1. manual: your web page stores data in DB, then an RSP support
person uses the transfer page
2. frame/redirection to the standard openSRS transfer page
3. whatever logic you implement in your web page: get data from the
owner (domain/id) and pass it as form parameters to the openSRS transfer
page (HTTP), parse the HTML result (yuck, don't you wish there was proper
XML stream back and forth, like SOAP or something?)
It's important to note that there are some variables that openSRS appends
to that URL, you need to keep them 'as is', so if you type:
'http://bla.bla.com', the user will get something like
'http://bla.bla.com?rid=123'.
The variables are:
- rid: your numerical reseller ID, this one is optional - if you provide
it, then your customized logo (if any) shows up on the login page for
transfers, otherwise it will only show up after the owner submits data.
- 'bt=1' - for batch transfers
- 'away=1' - for 'away' transfers, - from another registrar.
You can't use {{}} variables in the URL field, they won't be interpolated
- which is probably a good thing anyway: the owner will need to type in
the domain name which gives him more time to realize it's probably a huge
mistake.
