503 Version Outdated

Hi,

I've got some problem with the UDP API and the AUTH command. I'm trying to send this request :
AUTH user=kookiz&pass=xxxxx&protover=3&client=quickdb&clientver=1

But I keep receiving a "503 VERSION OUTDATED" response.
After looking in the wiki, it seems that the protover parameter is too low, but the wiki asks to use "3".

By the way, I registered the client, and maked the version 1 official.

Do anyone see where this problem comes from ?

Thanks in advance

it's nothing wrong with that AUTH line. you must be doing something wrong elsewhere

are you sure that you are actually connecting to the _UDP_ api?
you're bound to get the reply you mentioned if you connect to the TCP api.
They're both running on port 9000 on api.anidb.info, so make sure that you're really using UDP.

As a general check, if you get a line like

Code: Select all

100 1170094523 img5.anidb.info WELCOME TO THE ANIDB API SERVICE
you're connected to the wrong API! (tcp api)

BYe!
