I tried a variation of that, but all I get back is "Authentication Error."

We've been a reseller since early 2000, and while we're I think still have the same values we did back then, I don't think that the case there. I'm writing more than just to rant however. What you could do for your situation is modify your script to get the contact information via the API. This is a base level routine in Perl that we use to pull this data. sub xcp_get_domain_info { my $args = shift; my $options = shift; # see sendcmd my $xcp_request = { action => 'get', object => 'domain', attributes => { type => 'all_info', } }; if ($args->{type}) { $xcp_request->{attributes}->{type} = $args->{type}; } set_authdata($xcp_request, $args); my $results = sendcmd($xcp_request, $options); return $results; } Thanks, Doug. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Register4Less.com Quoting dnsadmin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > This affects our business. > > After we register a domain, we run it through our own script which > does a whois query and sends a nicely crafted confirmation email to > the registrant containing the whois details. > > Because of this lag, we can no longer do that, and it has been our > practice for the last 8 years.. > > I would really love a private/firewalled OpenSRS whois server where we > can specify an IP address that is allowed to send queries. > > This would help us get the info we need as an RSP and it would stop > the lookup lag when the OpenSRS whois servers get bombarded by domain > hoarders and domain slammers. > > We have official registrar business with OpenSRS, and they should be > accomodating their resellers with stuff that they need. > > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Adam > Eisner > Sent: Tuesday, February 26, 2008 2:28 PM > To: Jim McAtee > Cc: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [domains-gen] Whois update delay > > Hi Jim, > > This is definitely not a cost-cutting move, no.
