Because of limitations regarding registry OT∓E environments, it can be troublesome to adequately test certain processes, such as auto renew and auto delete.
For these situations we provide a 'simulation' registry: 'Mockup' on our OT∓E environment with two TLD's :
'.sync' for synchronous process simulation (200
response) and '.async' for asynchronous process simulation (202
response).
This registry has all the functionalities of a regular registry, with some custom logic to simulate certain processes.
To simulate the automatic renewal or automatic deletion of a domain, register a domain where the SLD is set to 'soonexpired', i.e.
exampledomain.soonexpired.sync
This will create a domain with the expiry date 10 minutes in the future, triggering the expiry handler within
the next minute. If the autoRenew
parameter is set to true
, this will
start an auto renew process, otherwise an auto delete process is started.
To simulate a domain going into redemption period, register a domain where the SLD is set to 'redemption', i.e.
exampledomain.redemption.sync
This will create a domain and and start an auto delete process within the next minute. This process skips the auto-renew grace period and the domain will immediately go into the redemption period.
To simulate a domain with premium pricing, check or quote a domain where the SLD is set to 'premium', i.e.
exampledomain.premium.sync
This will return a check domain response with premium: true
or a quote response which includes a
billable with premium pricing respectively.
If you wish to simulate a premium domain which only includes the premium pricing when created and has regular pricing on renewal, set the SLD to 'premium-create-only', i.e.
exampledomain.premium-create-only.sync
