Extensions we made to the standards
|
|
|
|
|
===================================
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
/nic/delete API url
|
|
|
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The dyndns2 standard does not give a means to delete a DNS record (like A or
|
|
|
|
|
AAAA), you can only update to a new address using /nic/update.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Thus, we created a /nic/delete URL that behaves just like the dyndns2 update
|
|
|
|
|
api, but removes the A or AAAA record in DNS instead of updating it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
While the update API would actually use the given IP address to put it into
|
|
|
|
|
an A or AAAA record, the delete API uses it only to determine the address
|
|
|
|
|
type, whether it is IPv6 or v6 and then deletes the A or AAAA record.
