require domain for HTTP validation

[kochen]

when choosing HTTP Validation, the module should check and require for the uploaded file.
if the domain doesn't point to the hosting server (where the certificate is being generated) the process will be stuck at GeoTrust (i.e) for a very long time without the site owner knowing about it.

Hello Kochen,

Again, I am very sorry for delay in replying to you.

Thank you for your feedback!

At this point it may be not possible to implement such tool - validation of file submittion is done solely by CA and we are not taking part in it. The actual contents for file (in case of Symantec certificates) is only returned after activation details are sent over to CA so we will not be able to prevalidate it before configuration of SSL cert is completed from WHMCS area.

Checking for the domain not pointing to hosting servers at all may be a solution, but basically having domain live is a basic requirement from Symantec. We will discuss with developers what can be done here from our side at all.

If having domain live is a basic requirement then at least state that in the process.
basic and simple validation could be done to the existence of the file (which name you should know) even if the content is not known to you.
