Note: The username is also the hostname. The password is sent using 'password='. This skips HTTP basic auth.

hm... it shouldn't be that complicated, but I have no testcase (I don't want to delegate my domans to he just for this purpose). If I write some code, could you test it?

[alama]

Yes

[leamas]

OK, a new plugin is available as a sketch on https://paste.fedoraproject.org/paste/yrLDyQnKh0tDr3kzH62tgg You could just drop it into ~/.local/share/ddupdate/plugins to test

[leamas]

HOLD... I see bugs in that one :(

[leamas]

New try. The new plugin is available for test in the he branch

[alama]

Ok, it updates A record sudo -u ddupdate /usr/local/bin/ddupdate -H rigginstereotesta.lawarias.srb2.org -s hurricane_electric -a default-web-ip -l warning -v v4 But AAAA neeeds sudo -u ddupdate /usr/local/bin/ddupdate -H rigginstereotest.lawarias.srb2.org -s hurricane_electric -a default-if -l warning -v v6 yea, default-web-ip6 does not work AND I think when using ip-disabled need to force curl to use -4 or -6 so the web server get the RIGHT address?

[leamas]

AND I think when using ip-disabled need to force curl to use -4 or -6 so the web server get the RIGHT address?

hm... As things stand, you need to use -v6 to actually update a server AAAA record. Without a -v6, it defaults to using v4. Is this a problem?

If it is a problem, what should the solution be, given that ddupdate has no way ti understand if a given hostname refers to an A or an AAAA record?

[leamas]

yea, default-web-ip6 does not work

Could you please expand on this? What are the error messages, if any? Do you have an active ipv6 connection doing this?

Please note that ipv6 addresses are normally not translated, so using default-if seems natural in the ipv6 case.

Ping?

Still here, just busy

Closing after adding the plugin to 0.6.0. Looking carefully at your comments I actually doesn't see anything wrong with the plugin, it's more about the overall ddupdate functionality. Please file new bug(s) if you have any problems.
