Hi guys - I'm having issues with a curl script to generate TXT records for ACME challenges for LetsEncrypt.

My DNS provider is FreeDNS. It appears that they have an API for generating A records, but haven't found much information on TXT record generation.

Their FAQ https://freedns.afraid.org/faq/#17 Has the supposed syntax to use for curl - however I haven't had much success when testing with Certify (Windows ACME client)

When putting in the correct cookie ID and data ID for my subdomain it just comes back with the page content. I also tried using --user username:password to authenticate first, but the same applies.

Does anyone have any experience using curl and/or with FreeDNS to get this working?

Many thanks.
