[ietf-provreg] a new core command...?

RE: [ietf-provreg] a new core command...?
Eugenio, If I remember correctly we did indeed consider (and rejected the idea of) adding commands to provide search-like features as you've described below. We did that because EPP isn't designed to be a search protocol, but for a smaller registry it might not be a big deal. An extension seems like the right approach. -Scott- > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-ietf-provreg@cafax.se > [mailto:owner-ietf-provreg@cafax.se] On Behalf Of Eugenio Pinto > Sent: Tuesday, June 06, 2006 7:03 AM > To: ietf-provreg@cafax.se > Subject: [ietf-provreg] a new core command...? > > Hi all, > > I don't know if this subject was already discussed in the > past, in the > provreg-wg, but I need some opinions about it. > > As a Provisioning Protocol I'm wondering if it shouldn't be there > another query command besides <check>, <info> and <transfer> > that would > allow us to retrieve all the objects actually provisioned by > a repository. > > In DNS.PT we needed a command with such functionality in order to > retrieve all the domains owned/managed by the current logged > user and we > needed to do an extension. > > My question is: > > Is it reasonable to include such a command in the core protocol? > > We have two nearly candidates for that goal: > > 1 - The EPP <check> command which is used to determine if an > object can > be provisioned within a repository. > > 2 - The EPP <info> command which is used to retrieve > information associated with an existing object. > > The problem is that the commands above are designed to check well > identified objects each time.
