Fixed API Registration Spam Check

I'd like to replicate XenForo's spam check during registration through an API request. I have reviewed [bd] API and XenAPI and neither make use of XenForo_Model_SpamPrevention during the registration process. I have attempted to add this code:

$writer = XenForo_DataWriter::create('XenForo_DataWriter_User');
...
$spamModel = XenForo_Model::create('XenForo_Model_SpamPrevention');
$spamResponse = $spamModel->allowRegistration($writer->getMergedData(), new Zend_Controller_Request_Http());

The above code fails at $dataRegistryModel->set('dnsBlCache', $dnsBlCache); because "Message: Mysqli statement execute error : Lost connection to MySQL server during query." A var_dump of $dnsBlCache returns an array with 165040 elements.

This is unrelated to those add-ons. It looks like there's a bug with expiration of this data. You can workaround it by just deleting the dnsBlCache row from the data registry table.
 
@Mike Thank you for looking into this. Is there any issue passing "new Zend_Controller_Request_Http()" instead of $this->_request as the second parameter to $spamModel->allowRegistration?
