Simple Python EPP Client

An epp client transport class. This is just the raw TCP IP protocol. The XML data needs to be handled separately. The EPP transport protocol is defined at http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5734 it looks complicated but is actually very simple and elegant.

The actual data should be XML data formated according to RFC5730-RFC5733 No validation of any data takes place in this Class

Usage:

Getting the image

The image is publicly available

docker pull dnsbusiness/epp-client:dev

Operating modes

Specifying list of template files:

docker run --rm -v /templates:/templates dnsbusiness/epp-client:dev /templates/first_command.xml

Pipe XML data from stdin:

cat templates/domain_info.xml | docker run -i dnsbusiness/epp-client:dev 

Using certificate:

To access certificate files you will need to map the directrory or file into the image using -v. Multiple -v arguments are possible.

docker run --rm -i -v /certs:/certs dnsbusiness/epp-client:dev -c /certs/mycert.crt
