Pinging for RETS Capable MLS's

[OneCoder]

Is there a standard for naming RETS capable MLS web sites? For example, if a MLS web site URL is: www.MLSWebSite.com, is there a common convention for naming the RETS login such as: rets.MLSWebSite.com/login ? Possibly for just particular MLS software vendors?

I am working on a RETS interface and wanted to ping a few MLS's to see if there are valid login pages just to see if they support a RETS interface. Obvioulsy not to log into any at this time, but to find areas that I should consider for future marketing.

Thanks,
Johnnie

No, there isn't. It varies not only on a per provider company basis, but on a per MLS basis as well. They do this on purpose so that someone can't do what you want to do.
