Provides ability to query standard WHOIS interfaces. A standard WHOIS interface accepts socket requests containing the name of the domain and returns a single response containing the record for given query.
a = Standard.new(:tld, ".it", "whois.nic.it") a.request("example.it")
By default, WHOIS interfaces listen on port 43. This adapter also supports an optional port number.
a = Standard.new(:tld, ".it", "whois.nic.it", :port => 20) a.request("example.it")"
The following options can be supplied to customize the creation of a new instance:
:port - Specifies a port number different than 43
Executes a WHOIS query to the WHOIS interface listening at host and appends the response to the client buffer.
The standard port of a WHOIS request is 43. You can customize it by passing a :port option.
