I've got a quickie, and I am not sure where to ask it.
I am in the process of writing a domain-name registration tracking system,
and I want to put some stuff in the Headers so that I can add our internal
tracking numbers on it so that when we get a response, I can have a
process look it over and decide what do do with it.
In specific, I put
X-NAC-DTS-Number: [a alex-generated number]
in the header, and it didn't get returned.
So, my questions are:
1) Should the Internic be retaining this X Headers?
2) Why can't the Internet put interesting things in the header so that we
could unifiy the way we look at them to automatically process them? Like:
X-Internic-Response: Registered
or
X-Internic-Response: Not-Registered-Already-taken
etc?
Comments welcome.
