The
URL
text field requires the complete request to be sent to the DynDNS server. Normally it has the following format:
http://www.server.domain:port/scriptpath/scriptname?param1=value1¶m2=value2
The request modifies the nameserver database so that the hostname will be resolved to the new IP address.
The
Basic Authentication
checkbox enables the encoding of the username and password entered in the text fields above, and then uses the
Basic
Authentication

HTTP get request. The
Basic Authentication
checkbox can be selected if no authentication parameters to be provided.
