Are EPP status codes case-sensitive?

When I reviewed the relevant RFC documents, I couldn't find anything about the case sensitivity of the status codes. Therefore, I wanted to ask this question here.

I have encountered the following EPP codes, but I don't know whether they are valid. Additionally, I don't know whether these codes are considered by an automation process or if they are just for the registrant information.

Let me simplify my question; Are EPP status codes case-sensitive, and are they just for the registrant's information?

Example 1 - with a link

Domain Status: clientTransferProhibited https://icann.org/epp#clientTransferProhibited
Domain Status: clientUpdateProhibited https://icann.org/epp#clientUpdateProhibited
Domain Status: clientRenewProhibited https://icann.org/epp#clientRenewProhibited
Domain Status: clientDeleteProhibited https://icann.org/epp#clientDeleteProhibited

Example 2 - lower cases

Domain Status: clienttransferprohibited
Domain Status: clientupdateprohibited
Domain Status: clientrenewprohibited
Domain Status: clientdeleteprohibited

Example 3 - normal

Domain Status: clientTransferProhibited
Domain Status: clientUpdateProhibited
Domain Status: clientRenewProhibited
Domain Status: clientDeleteProhibited

If you take a look into the XML-Schema definitions attached to the RFC, you will see that these status codes are defined as case-sensitive. Also some of the ICANN publications like this are referencing them case-sensitive.

But:

  • EPP Server implementations may differ on RFC implementation
  • Confusing other guidelines on how to display status codes exsist (as for WHOIS eg only Domain Status: ok https://icann.org/epp#ok would pass any ICANN conformance test)

So it is save to assume that normalized status codes would always match ;-)

So the answer to Are EPP status codes case-sensitive? is Yes
