Version 0.5 of the Universal Registry Client and version 1.0b3 of the GRI are now available at http://urc.sf.net/ .

The Universal Registry Client (URC) is desktop application which utilizes a common API for communicating with various domain name registries. The URC currently provides a scripting environment for writing scripts which execute commands in a registry. The URC includes built in support for Python scripts and can be extended to include any BSF-supported scripting language. The URC currently provides registry implementations for RRP registries (such as Verisign), EPP version 2 registries (such as Afilias for .info) and XRP registries (such as NeuLevel for .biz).... read more

The Generic Registry Interface is now being used in production servers at Signature Domains (http://www.signaturedomains.com). I have squashed quite a few bugs in the last week and will continue to work out any other kinks. In the meantime I will be completing JavaDoc documentation for all of the GRI code as well as improving the high-level documentation for the GRI to include example code. Once this is done I am going to go to 1.0 release, which should be in the next week or two.... read more

The Universal Registry Client version 0.1 is now available at http://urc.sf.net/

This is the first release of the URC. It includes an EPP implementation for EPP servers which are running the EPP protocol version 2.

This revision brings the EPP implementation of the GRI up to date with the GRI.

This is a minor revision which allows a Writer to be specified for each Registry. Detailed result information is sent to that writer. This is used by the URC to print result information in the output area.

GRI-EPP version 0.1 is now available. This package provides an implementation of the GRI for communicating with EPP registries. It currently supports EPP version 2 registries. None of the SSL files included with the EPP-RTK are included, so you will need to download those from http://sourceforge.net/projects/epp-rtk/

Generic Registry Interface version 0.1 is now available. This is the initial release of the GRI, although the GRI is already in use at Signature Domains.
