dyndns.org update via php/curl?

Im attempting to maintain an account at dyndns.org via php/curl. Im using (per RTFM):

 https://$account:[email protected]/nic/update?hostname=$host&myip=$ip

but I get a 'nohost' response if $host is new. If $host is an existing entry it works.

Has anyone used this method of communicating with dyndns? Is the api only used to update existing entries?

Solution

  • You can only send IP address updates to existing DynDNS hostnames with the DynDNS API, you cannot create new hostnames.

    If you need a full API for creating/deleting/changing hostnames, Dynect SMB may interest you: http://www.dyndns.com/services/dynectsmb/
