CZDS timeouts / 503 issues?
by John McCormac April 24, 2022

April 24, 2022

Is anyone else seeing an increasing number of timeouts waiting for responses, timesouts waiting for authentication, 503s on the CZDS while downloading? It has been happening for a while now with some days having no issues but others, such as today, having a lot. Have also noticed a bit of sluggishness in the CZDS while updating or checking requests (this was via a different connection).

No resolution from the TLD operator and no followup action from ICANN, not even to report that the second complaint is a duplicate. It looks like whoever is handling the complaints is a long-term leave or overwhelmed... -- Viktor.

gzipped error messages served as zone files
by Joe Wein Feb. 7, 2022

Feb. 7, 2022

Some recent CZDS zone file downloads were missing all zone data. Specifically, the gzipped files were not empty, but their content was error messages, not zone file data. For example: $ gunzip < bayern.zone.gz ;; Couldn't verify signature: expected a TSIG or SIG(0) ; Transfer failed. ;; Couldn't verify signature: expected a TSIG or SIG(0) $ gunzip < jot.zone.gz ;; Couldn't create key icann-axfr: bad base64 encoding ; Transfer failed. ;; Couldn't create key icann-axfr: bad base64 encoding "Transfer failed" should be a dead giveaway that something went wrong. Can we please improve error handling on the portal side so that output of a "dig axfr" to make a snapshot for distribution is only ever packaged up as a .gz file for download by CZDS users if it at least has a valid SOA record in its first few lines? Regards Joe Wein SURBL

CZDS renewal limbo for xn--kput3i since 2021-08-25
by Viktor Dukhovni Feb. 2, 2022

Feb. 2, 2022

My renewal request for access to xn--kput3i zone data has been unanswered (neither approved nor denied) since 2021-08-25. A complaint was filed a couple of weeks later, to no effect. Anyone else in the same boat? What can be done to get this moving forward? (I've long given up on getting initial approval for .discover and .citadel, requested soon three years ago on 2019-01-29). -- Viktor.
