Updating IPv6 prefix does not work #1154
Description
As reported in Problems updating IPv6 prefix trying to update an IPv6 prefix using the IP Update API results in a HTTP Status 500.
Reporting the issue here as directed so it can be tracked.
Details:
I was testing the new (PR #1112) mechanism to update mutilple hostnames and to use a prefix instead of a full IPv6 IP. My URL looks similar to this:
https://update.dedyn.io?hostname=<subdomain>.dedyn.io,<host2>.<subdomain>.dedyn.io,<host3>.<subdomain>.dedyn.io&myipv4=192.0.2.1&myipv6=2001:db8:1::/56
(<subdomain>, <host2>, <host3> have real values of course and they all have existing A and AAAA RRsets.)
However I am getting HTTP Status 500 and the following response instead of good:
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<title>Server Error (500)</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Server Error (500)</h1><p></p>
</body>
</html>More tests:
- The same thing happens when using
ipv6instead ofmyipv6as the parameter name.ipv6is explicitly mentioned in the documentation to work with a prefix whereasmyipv6is not. - I tried
2001:db8:1::1/56instead of2001:db8:1::/56, i.e. including an Interface Identifier, as mentioned in the documentation. Same result. - When I use a complete IPv6 address instead of a prefix, the same call works fine.
I have looked at the code changes in #1112 and while I am not a Python expert, I think that none of the tests actually test updating an IPv6 prefix? Updating an IPv4 prefix is included in the tests though. So that probably works as expected.
