Im getting a bad subdomain currently , Ill take down this instance once i get it resolved but :

## Acme-DNS Register
curl -X "POST" "http://159.65.179.47/register"

## Acme-DNS Update
curl -X "POST" "http://159.65.179.47/update" \
     -H 'Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8' \
     -H 'X-Api-Key: n8o2nd7E4JtqWlTEbyEZAjs5mZr1wc8Ehju2SNhG' \
     -H 'X-Api-User: 105f0386-6d4b-41ca-9c17-d5a0481e7e36' \
     -d $'{
  "txt": "test",
  "subdomain": "cc3ddadd-0c05-4e5e-8d3f-2d2b72e9c083"
}'

Response :

@lukepolo What commit of acme-dns are you running? I think you hit the same thing I did that I fixed in https://github.com/joohoi/acme-dns/pull/42

Sending a "txt" with the value "test" will be rejected because it isn't exactly 43 characters long like an ACME DNS-01 challenge response. Prior to d542ee03b5 acme-dns returned a "bad_subdomain" error when the "txt" was invalid.

You can test if my theory is correct by sending "txt":"aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa" instead.
