Actually, if you are monitoring your own domains, why not just script
the OPS class and get your data directly from OpenSRS, unobfuscated? In
fact, it looks like simply setting a cookie for a domain returns the
expiry date (so you don't need to do a second call to get_domain).
For instance, using the PHP class:
<?php
require_once 'openSRS.php';
$O = new openSRS('live');
$cmd = array(
'action' => 'set',
'object' => 'cookie',
'attributes' => array(
'domain' => 'your-domain.com',
'reg_username' => 'your-username',
'reg_password' => 'your-password',
)
);
$result = $O->send_cmd($cmd);
if ($result['is_success']) {
echo "expiry: " .$result['attributes']['expiredate'];
}
?>
I bet it would take someone all of 30 seconds to write a version using
the Perl client. Maybe even a little shell command that takes a domain,
user and pass, and returns the expiry date. Then maybe OpenSRS can
bundle that in their software ...
