script help

[essexboy]

Hi All,
I have a script written for me in .net (yes I know) which I haven't used for aout a year. I believe there was a change to the epp schema a few months ago so wanted to change my script so it stilll works. however I can't work out what needs changing? I see a line with my acc number and tag etc but can't work out where the actual schema is held? can anyone advise where I should be looking in .net? I opened the vbproj file, the only other files are dll's

cheers

I've been writing my own system with the new schema and I am experienced with VB.NET. If you like I can take a look for you? It's hard to tell you what to change without seeing the code as it depends on how the EPP commands are formed.

Thanks for the offer Dave but don't really want to send the code out. I understand what you are saying but hoped it would be a matter of it being held in a certain file extension or soething to search for.

theoretically you can "read" the code, you should be able to replace it yourself.

using Sean who posted this EPP snippet example

<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\" standalone=\"no\"?>
<epp xmlns=\"urn:ietfarams:xml:ns:epp-1.0\">
<command>
<check>
<domain:check
xmlns:domain=\"urn:ietfarams:xml:ns:domain-1.0\">
<domain:name>#********}</domain:name>
</domain:check>
</check>
<clTRID>#{clTRID}</clTRID>
</command>
</epp>

if you can recognise a structure like this, and note the #{?} which I assume are variables in his language of choice, you should be able to compare your own xml form to the new forms by replacing the bits around the variables if that makes sense ?

You'll also need to modify the schema's used in the login request. I'd suggest that you either go back to the original coder or take a look through the details of the schemas on the Nominet website and work out the differences between the Nominet EPP and standard EPP, it only boils down to a few lines of XML, but without seeing the code it isn't possible to say "change this" as the XML may be created programatically or via template/variable replacement each of which will look entirely different in the code.

Just as a point of interest, Alex above has his own script and has been working on it for 6 yrs (came across this the other day: http://www.acorndomains.co.uk/drop-catching-domain-names/24386-writing-drop-catch-software.html), and posted quite alot when he started.

So assuming he was willing to help you (for a fee) he would have nothing to gain from your script when he already has a successful one

You never know he may make some other suggestions to speed you up

I don't have an xml file amongst the project and can't see any xml tags anywhere but I dont know my way round visual studio so could be missing something. tbh I dont want to pay for it to be fixed, I would of only occassionally used it so thought if it was a simple change I would do it myself but no big deal.

Thanks

Guess the script builds the XML itself. Once Nominet drop the Nominet schemas from live (from memory - June?) your script will stop working with an EPP error as the schema will be wrong.
