[Pdns-users] pdnsutil usage for get-meta <zone> without attribute

[Herve Maisonneuve]

Hello pdns-mailing list,
I'm writing a backend within cassandra db and python driver through the
remotebackend module http-mode configured

When using the pdnsutil to retrieve all meta-data attached to a particular
zone, it's done by using the pdnsutil 'get-meta' command whithout
attribute, as mentionned in the documentation.
This command works very well for particular attribute but not when ther is
no attribute at all.
I guess my backend doesn't return the right object structure or sequence,
since pdsnutil should try to retrieve each value for each attribute
existing in DB.

I tried several data structures, but without success: for example ( and
more ..)

[{'ALLOW-AXFR-FROM': '192.168.123.0/24'}, {'ALLOW-AXFR-FROM': '
192.168.250.0/24'}, {'SOA-EDIT': '0'}]

[['ALLOW-AXFR-FROM', '192.168.123.0/24'], ['API-RECTIFY', '1'],
['PRESIGNED', '0'], ['SOA-EDIT', '1'], ['SOA-EDIT-API', '1']]

['ALLOW-AXFR-FROM=192.168.123.0/24', 'API-RECTIFY=1', 'PRESIGNED=0',
'SOA-EDIT=1', 'SOA-EDIT-API=1']

DB content for the requested domain

kind            | content
-----------------+------------------
 ALLOW-AXFR-FROM | 192.168.123.0/24
     API-RECTIFY |                1
       PRESIGNED |                0
        SOA-EDIT |                1
    SOA-EDIT-API |                1

result of the pdnsutil command :
***************************************************
pdnsutil get-meta osnworld.net
Jun 21 14:11:44 Reading random entropy from '/dev/urandom'
Jun 21 14:11:44 [bindbackend] Parsing 0 domain(s), will report when done
Jun 21 14:11:44 [bindbackend] Done parsing domains, 0 rejected, 0 new, 0
removed
Metadata for 'osnworld.net'

****************************************************
That means "nothing", I guess, and whatever i try to return

It's why I'm thinking that I don't return the right data format to make
pdnsutil understand the backend's answer

for a particular attribute it works fine:
***************************************************
pdnsutil get-meta osnworld.net API-RECTIFY
Jun 21 11:58:00 Reading random entropy from '/dev/urandom'
Jun 21 11:58:00 [bindbackend] Parsing 0 domain(s), will report when done
Jun 21 11:58:00 [bindbackend] Done parsing domains, 0 rejected, 0 new, 0
removed
Metadata for 'osnworld.net'
API-RECTIFY = 1
****************************************************

Could someone help to find the good data structure I should return

Thanks for all

Herve
