AutoDNS API Support?

[aario]

Hi Folks,
I appreciate your efforts and will appreciate much more if lego supports AutoDNS API. There is already a library which written in PHP here:
https://github.com/tillkahlbrock/autodns-api
And the AutoDNS XML API documentation:
https://help.internetx.com/display/API/AutoDNS+XML-API

ACME.sh supports AutoDNS --- would be cool to see that in LEGO as well.

Looks fairly doable - from first googling there seems to be only https://github.com/steinhauer-software/internetx-autodns-cli which midght be usable to communicate with autodns, otherwise we'd need to write that ourself.

Unfortunately, the docs linked by @aario are hidden behind a login page and there seems to be no obvious way to register to get access to it, so I'm not really sure if talking to their api is easy or hard.

The API documentation seems to be here: https://help.internetx.com/display/APIXMLEN/Domain+Robot+XML+API

I believe that only the parts of the API has to be implemented to set the TXT records. It's three XML payloads as shown in https://github.com/tohn/acme.sh/blob/master/dnsapi/dns_autodns.sh

I saw that AutoDNS also supports EPP. This seems to be more a standard but I have zero experience with it:

https://help.internetx.com/display/APIEPPEN/Domain+Update

Would it be more interesting to implement EPP? Would that support even more other DNS providers?

EPP might just only allow to register / modify domains, but not DNS zones. So is not helpful here.

@kolaente will implement that in on basis of https://help.internetx.com/display/APIJSONEN
