Ping John, free WINDEV WHOIS software.

Hi John, Howdy folks,
I've made that app. just 4 fun. It is a whois software. If you don't know what it is, you don't need it (Interesting probably for Sys-admins, web-developers)
Have to do some fine tuning (validate ip/domain addr, domain lookup) guess the software will be available within the next 2 days.
Bjoern have a look ...

Great, I'd love to see it.

I tried your code and it works nicely, except I'm not able to retrieve info from these servers:

whois.crsnic.net
whois.internic.net

I only need to know if a domain name is available but would love to see everything.

Will the source be available ?

Thanks
John

Hi John,
Maybe the most important point sure, source will be available. MIT/BSD licence (very liberal)

domain name lookup :
I will create a function similar to:

FUNCTION IsDomainAvail(LOCAL domain is string)
//...
RESULT true/false

Yeah internic has bitten me too. The whole NIC systems follows pretty much the "NO standards please" philosophy. Well John, that's it for the moment, I've not even finished my first coffee.... always dangerous in case that you like to give dedicated answers.

So here a too less coffee idea:

    // get extension top level domain
	extension = GetTLD(domain);	IF extension = "" THEN RESULT ""
	
	// connect to extension + .whois-servers.net
	IF SocketConnect( "WHOIS_DOMAIN", port, extension + ".whois-servers.net" ) THEN

I'll send you a ping when the whoistool is ready ... You can also contact me by email ... see my mysnip profile

Hi John
A screenshot to explain the extension + .whois-servers.net idea!

Hi,
whois 0.1 download link : WD11 project incl. source.

[www.file-upload.net]

I've to stop the whois development for a while... next weekend you could expect a stable tool.

Pat is smart enough to teach us WEBDEV12 on Linux. See WB12 on Linux thread.
... and I have to finish my WB/Linux project till the end of this year, in other words my resources are limited.

Guess I can make the isDomainAvail(domain) stuff too (not that easy 'cause I want a "better than GNU" whois.
