A lot more people would use if if it were accessible outside the RWI. It's a chicken and egg thing. We do a regular sync of our database and OpenSRS to correct name servers, contact information and such. For domains that we want to have expire it would be quite easy and handy to have it cut off notifications. I'm not likely to do this through the RWI because I'm rarely sure that a domain is totally dead and will stay that way. So I need the ability for the database sync to undo the change too. It's not worth writing an RWI-navigation script just for this. > - allowing API facilitated potential abuse (weak, I know) So I won't even go there. :-) > - anyone who cared enough could write a script to the RWI That's SO messy. We've had to do that for getting a complete list of our domains and it is hard for me to think of anything else that would motivate me to do it again. Is adding stuff to the API /that/ hard? If so, why? I would think/hope that adding stuff to the API would be /easier/ than adding it the RWI. -- </chris> "Outside of a dog, a man's best friend is a good book.
