PHP CURL and DynDNS API

Question

im using this code to change my ip:

$username = "myuser";
$password = "mypass";

$url      = "https://members.dyndns.org/nic/update?hostname=ts3.dyndns-server.com&myip=82.165.133.254&wildcard=NOCHG&mx=NOCHG&backmx=NOCHG";

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD, "$username:$password");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$output = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);

print $output;

and it just returns badagent, any ideas anyone?

you can change the user agent with the -A option so curl ... -A 'tolerated browser signature'... Since you have to identify yourself anyway before any browser be accepted at all it takes to stop abuse is lockdown the account after a certain number of warnings I guess.

You could also, instead of using curl as an HTTP wrapper, create the HTTP connection yourself on a TCP connection stream and set all the headers yourself, including User-Agent. If you do it properly and follow the guidelines pointed out in the developer documentation Cry Havok linked to, you shouldn't have anything to worry about.

Most likely, DynDNS have blocked certain user agents as a result of previous abuse.

Have you read the documentation? I suspect that your use of curl is the issue and that DynDNS don't accept that as an update agent since it provides no anti-abuse mechanisms (and your code clearly doesn't either).

You may instead want to use an approved update client.
