Title: RFC4310bis (RFC 5910) Has Been Published

All,

Yesterday RFC4310bis (RFC 5910) has been published.  The specification can be found at http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc5910.txt.  I would like to thank all of those on this list that contributed to this effort.  I want to especially thank Olafur for stepping forward to be the Document Sheppard.  

The next step is implementing RFC 5910, I have updated the VeriSign Java EPP SDK to support both secDNS-1.0 and secDNS-1.1.  The VeriSign Java EPP SDK also includes a Stub Server that simulates the behavior of a real server that supports both secDNS-1.0 and secDNS-1.1.  I worked on the code while working on RFC4310bis, which helped ensure that the contents of the RFC4310bis can be implemented in a client and a server.  The biggest challenge I had was supporting both secDNS-1.0 and secDNS-1.1 at the same time and keying off of the EPP <login> command <extURI> elements to drive the behavior of the <domain:info> command.  My experience in supporting this within the Stub Server of the VeriSign Java EPP SDK led to some of the content in section 2 of RFC 5910.  We will be releasing the VeriSign Java EPP SDK soon (i.e. by the end of the month) and it’s available as open source in the event other clients want to validate their implementations against a local validating EPP Stub Server that supports the behavior defined in RFC 5910 (including support for DS Data Interface and Key Data Interface).  The Stub Server can be customized to support specific client test scenarios.  

I have an open question around support for RFC 5910 with the other EPP SDK’s (i.e. Net::DRI, EPP-RTK).  The liberty-rtk-addon supports RFC 4310 in the EPP-RTK, so is someone from Afilias looking to update liberty-rtk-addon to support RFC 5910?  

Finally, please post to the list any implementation experience with RFC 5910 so that we can all benefit.

Thanks,
