.pro tld registration with opensrs fails

[Otura]

Hello,

 

I'm trying to have a .pro tld registred with OpenSRS.

 

It seems the OpenSRS registration module is buggy and doesn't include the tld_data section in the request, which should include the professional_data section, which should have the profession field there. A requirement to register .pro domains.

 

I've gone through the forums and found these two references, where the requester is asked to open a support ticket to receive a patch, so it seems that is a "well-known" error and that a solution exists:

I've checked the "V5.1 Patches" thread and there is nothing there:

I've opened a support ticket and I've spent more than 12 hours in an exchange of messages that are anything but providing a solution.

 

I've debugged the thing myself and have some conclusions and some hints that I've forwarded to WHMCS support in an attempt to provide them a hint for a solution. The problem is that even when the form is showing the field and gathering the data, then the registration module does nothing with it and doesn't include the following section in the array that is sent to opensrs:

 

   [tld_data] => Array
       (
           [professional_data] => Array
               (
                   [profession] => Technology professional
               )
       )

 

I'm still waiting for it and I have little hope to have it ever solved....

 

If anyone knows about a solution for this, please let me know.
