Can't get addzonerecord to work with txt records that includes spaces (such as spf records) Works fine to add a txt record with txtdata="test" or txtdata="v=spf1-a-~all":

  Thank you Andrew Your comment put me on the right track and I found that the old program that was the problem, use curl and without urlencodeing txt it did not work Changed to urlencode ('v=spf1 a -all') and now it works fine Time to update that program to use a little bit more modern approach, but since it now works I guess that will be later... much later :)

  If there's ever an API issue, I always recommend trying the call directly on the command line to see if it processes normally there. If so, there could be other issues besides the call itself.
