The instructions say that the updates are done by browsing to this address:

It is a long line. The userid is my email address, so it contains an "@" symbol. There is another "@" after the password. Can that work? :-?
In the username, you might need to encode the '@' as %40 I believe. It depends on the client you're using. In my elderly Firefox, I didn't need to, but Firefox popped up a window saying "you're about to log in with userid so-and-so". Then I created an AAAA record with this: http://dyn.dns24.ch/update?hostname=berlusconi.dyndns24.ch&type=AAAA&data=client If you don't specify your userid+password, Firefox will ask for them. You can also do the update with https://
Well, it works in firefox, after several trials, but not with wget, says "bad port number".
wget works too, but as you're running it from the command-line, don't forget appropriate quoting and/or escaping. The ampersands typically need escaping - or just put the whole URL in quotes.
Guided by that one, the equivalent for wget is:
wget --user=... --password=.... wget "http://dyn.dns24.ch/update?....."
Yes, something like that will also work. There's no real magic in the URL, it's just a URL with authentication. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (2.0°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
