How many http-01 validation calls

[cpu]

Hi @munmar,

@munmar

I noticed that the staging server is currently making 4 validation calls (from 4 different IPs), while the production one just 1 call.

You're correct, that's the result of this feature that is presently limited to the staging environment: Validating challenges from multiple network vantage points

@munmar

Is there a way to find out how many validation calls will there be made before the validation can be considered completed and successful? I couldn’t find such information in the integration guide so far.

There is not - we explicitly do not want clients making assumptions about the state of validation based on the requests received. Your client should begin polling the authorization to monitor its status once you have POSTed a challenge. The authorization status is the definitive source for when validation is considered complete and successful.

Hope that helps!
