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. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Atheism is a non-prophet organization. I route, therefore I am.
