Feature request: check wildcard support for all providers #593

Open qdm12 opened 9 months ago

qdm12 commented 9 months ago

Some providers do not support updating wildcards, and it should be investigated why and the code/docs updated if it's possible to do so.

Don't know if it helps, but I just successfully setup a wildcard update using the namecheap provider. Although my required config differed slightly from the docs (the docs suggest to use .foo.com as the domain, but in actuality I had to use foo.com as the domain and as the host, otherwise there was an error with the domain name validation.

This worked for me.

{
  "settings": [
    {
      "provider": "namecheap",
      "domain": "foo.com",
      "password": "my_namecheap_password",
      "host":"*"
    }
  ]
}

This did not, but the docs suggest it should: This worked for me.

{
  "settings": [
    {
      "provider": "namecheap",
      "domain": "*.foo.com",
      "password": "my_namecheap_password"
    }
  ]
}

@ciaranj i think you are reading the wrong documentation, see the top of the readme for links to the right version of documentation. Marking this and your comment as off topic, but otherwise feel free to create a separate issue!
