Overview

Standard Adapter

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")"
