Any Nominet EPP gurus?

[monaghan]

I'm re-writing my billing system so need to provide a full EPP client rather than the current stripped down to the minimum catch EPP code.

I'm trying to code a contact update and generating the following

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<epp xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:epp-1.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:epp-1.0 epp-1.0.xsd">
  <command>
    <update>
      <contact:update xmlns:contact="http://www.nominet.org.uk/epp/xml/nom-contact-2.0" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.nominet.org.uk/epp/xml/nom-contact-2.0 nom-contact-2.0.xsd">
        <contact:roid>C121441</contact:roid>
        <contact:name>Alex Monaghan</contact:name>
        <contact:email>[email protected]</contact:email>
        <contact:phone>012345123456</contact:phone>
        <contact:mobile>01234567</contact:mobile>
      </contact:update>
    </update>
    <clTRID>MCL-00002</clTRID>
  </command>
</epp>

It returns

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<epp xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:epp-1.0"
      xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
      xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.nominet.org.uk/epp/xml/epp-1.0 epp-1.0.xsd">
  <response>
    <result code="2001">
      <msg>
        Command syntax error
      </msg>
    </result>
    <trID>
      <svTRID>190063</svTRID>
    </trID>
  </response>
</epp>

If I send each of the name, email, phone or mobile updates on its own it is accepted.

The EPP Update page at Nominet shows

<contact:update> element
The <contact:update> element contains the following child elements:

* A <contact:roid> element to contain the identifier of the contact object to be modified.
* <contact:name>
* <contacthone>
* <contact:mobile>
* <contact:email>

I'm assuming it is therefore legal to send multiple field updates.

Any suggestions or do I need to wait until tomorrow and fire a support request to Nominet?

Net-dri is an open source management and billing system, has nominet modules also.

Could upi use that or just find out how to do it from there.

I'm no expert obviously, but the perl and php forums will give you an answer within minutes if you dont get one on here.

The planned open source catching script will hopefully be developed by these guys too

Thanks,

I was PM'd with a suggestion to change the order of the elements, this works. I also seem to recall another issue that was resolved by changing the order of the elements.

I guess Nominet must parse the EPP requests line by line requiring strict ordering rather than the more usual flexible xml processing I've used on other API's.
