Custom whois server

[warrenfab]

Not too sure where I should be submitting this, but here goes:

I live in South Africa and am trying to get my whois to work with "what appears to be" the only available tld ns in SA, namely http://co.za/cgi-bin/whois.sh?Domain= .

This format does not appear to work with most of the whois scripts and fails on the requests. Am I doing something wrong?

Example:
.com would have whois.opensrs.net, .net would have whois.opensrs.net, yet all I can find for za domains (.co.za) is : http://co.za/cgi-bin/whois.sh?Domain= (and you can fill in something like krazyboyz or mweb or iol as the domain name to get something returned.

How can I implement this into the WHOIS script provided?

Regards,
Warren Fabricius

Yes, there is a solution to this, but not with the default script. It requires just a few modifications.

I am very tired at the moment, so I will have to get back to you tomorrow, I have almost an entire post typed up of what to do, but I do not have all the kinks worked out yet.

I am sure I will by tomorrow and I will update this thread then with what to do.

Sorry, but I am very tired at the moment.

I am working on this functionality in the latest version of the script.

It is about 75% done, and will be included in the next version (not sure when that will be).
