Transcom Dropcatch Software --------------------------------- 9.1.9 Made the parameter selection simpler and added the default Nominet gateway delay to the EPP server. Additional last catch field 9.1.8 By request we have added the ability to post check drop names with an additional registration command. This allows a regsitration if the catch timing missed the slot and the domain became available, or if you just need to register a domain 9.1.7 Latency computation modified and displayed on login screen 9.1.6 General cleanup 9.1.5 added a propritory algorith for streamin EPP writes in blocks. All scripts now operate wit Multi EPP Sockets and are all non blocking. 9.1.4 reporting structure after catch attempt changed to use the realtime TAG stamp / create 9.1.3 Removal of preset timezone on the scripts, this is due to some servers not being configured correctly for UTC, this is a requirement as the Nominet drop times are all UTC 9.1.2 cosmetic timing changes 9.1.1 release date 11th Sept 2022 Nominet NEW system from 13th Sept 2022, noting that drops between the 13th Sept and 15th Sept incusing will be sporadic or non existent. Changes ------- The software is a complete rewrite as the new Nominet process is time release based rather that DAC based, however, we are advised that the old DAC/EPP will still operate but Nominet recommend the new service only. Droplists can be downloaded from Nominet each night at the follwing link: https://registrars.nominet.uk/uk-namespace/new-domain-expiry-process-and-introduction-of-drop-lists-for-uk/ Our Leased options and Servers ------------------------------ We will install and configure the software for you Own Server Install ------------------ Open an SSH shell to your Linux server and cd into a new linux directory Take a note of your EPP password, Account ID, and licence key from your current config.ini file if you are already a licenced user. The new config.ini removes the DAC details and adds the test bed configurations. Unzip the software 9.1.1-FULL.zip into your new directory and edit (nano or vi) the new config.ini file with your copied details Operation --------- As before, you can use the start.php file on the com and select an option, or run individually on the command line, always preceed with php : php runnb.php - Single Domain, non blocling mode php runsb.php - Single Domain - blocking mode php runrr.php - Multip Domains read from a flatfile list - automated There are also several utilities provided. Use --- Two specific features have been added, and of course the DAC timing options now removed. EPP Writes - Number of user specified EPP socket writes, default 10 Transit delay - The software calculates the destination time automatically, however you can manaully add or subtract time in microseconds Round Robin - Unlimited names can be fed into the flatfile, the process is fully automated and does NOT use Nominet resources in the queue.
