The {Formatted} adapter is almost equal to the {Standard} adapter. It accepts a :format adapter to format the WHOIS query.
a = Standard.new(:tld, ".it", "whois.nic.it", :format => "HELLO %s") # performs a query for the string "HELLO example.it" 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
:format - Specifies the format rule to apply to the query string
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.
@param [String] string @return [void]
@raise [Whois::ServerError] If the :format option is missing.
# File lib/whois/server/adapters/formatted.rb, line 48 def request(string) options[:format] || raise(ServerError, "Missing mandatory :format option for adapter `Formatted'") response = query_the_socket(sprintf(options[:format], string), host) buffer_append response, host end
