Web Server - Ask For Help / Re: NT CLient for updating DDNS for DNSSIMPLE
« Last post by Jane on August 16, 2026, 08:09:11 PM »Ron,
After you get it working in CURL, you can also do some testing with the web client that's in the NetDemo app in the NetTalk examples.
It's useful because you can see what's sent and received and figure out how to make things work.

This is new to me as I rely on Net Talk products to do the work for me! I did not know that I could run curl from command line. That is a great way to test the login authorization. Will give it a go. Thanks for the info.

I did re-look at DNS stuff. Indeed, it is the FULL API for DNSSIMPLE. However, DNS Simple has their own lightweight Dynamic DNS (DDNS) implementation, available at ddns.horse.
They provide a Curl example: Here is an example using curl: curl -i "https://ddns.horse/nic/update?hostname=example.com&myip=1.2.3.4&myipv6=2001:db8::8a2e:370:7334" -u "accountid:token"
On capesoft I got the conversion
net.Start()
net.Authorization = net.CreateAuthorizationString ('accountid','token', Net:WebBasicAuthentication,true)
net.Get('https://ddns.horse/nic/update?hostname=example.com&myip=1.2.3.4&myipv6=2001:db8::8a2e:370:7334')
I am using my Account ID for the authorization string "accountid" and my OAuthToken for the 'token' part of it.
However, I am getting authorization failure.
So, I can't get past the authorization with my credentials. I did double check my credentials and they are correct.
That is where I am at,
Ron

Have you tried the examples in the nettalk\NetDns folder?

Web Server - Ask For Help / NT CLient for updating DDNS for DNSSIMPLE
« Last post by rjolda on August 13, 2026, 11:13:12 AM »Hi,
I have a DNSSIMPLE account for my DNS resolution. My ISP gives me a Dynamic IP address. DNSSIMPLE has an API to update DNS records when your HOST IP address changes.
Anyone with NetWebClient code to update DNS record when the host IP address changes.
I have set up an OAUTH token on my DNSSIMPLE account.
They have an API but I have not got it working.
Anyone have working code that they can share?
Thanks,
Ron

THe code above was AI Generated and did NOT WORK!
However, I massaged the code to get this to work:
URL =('https://vpic.nhtsa.dot.gov/api/vehicles/DecodeVIN/' & VINData & '?format=xml')
net.contentType = 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'
net.SetAccept('json')
net.Get(url)
And, As Bruce said, the return is in the .PageReceived where I trap errors and then parse the return message:
log = clip(log) & '<13,10>------<13,10>' & self.ThisPage.GetValue()
st4.SetValue(log) ! put the log into st object
do Extract_it ( routine to extract out the fields.)

I think you answered your own question;
>> ::1:8090/yadayada
that's not correct syntax.
>> using [::1]:8090/yadayada
that is correct syntax. If you are adding a port you need to add [ ]
