Dear Zeljko Dimic,

Thank you for your upbeat message today.  However, it appears you have missed the point expressed below and on other repeated postings. 

The message is... Your customers are trying to tell you to provide a documented and open system that we can work within.  NOT language specific.  NOT platform specific.  Just open and clearly documented.

XML is the current standard that meets those requirements.  Every programming language and operating system has a wealth of methods, tools and applications to process effectively designed XML.  Why is Tucows resisting this standard?

We are all big boys and girls out here and have the professional skills and talents to write our own applications as needed by our businesses.  Your job is to be an open and easily used service.  If you don't, other providers will.  That's the bottom line.

Brad Thompson

And that would work for me as well, but I would not mind just "flat filing" it as I described previously.

And one thing to add to this is that the API response *MUST* return verbose error response and not just flip it's middle finger at me ......
Human errors and mistakes are envitable and Tucows end's logic does not have to map everything into a single terse useless response, give every error endpoint it's own unique response even if' it's just a number for which there is a document listing out all the error code numbers and what they mean.


Creating php bindings or perl bindings or any other language specific bindings is just catering to 'loudest crowd' of programmers.

Agreed 100%
