Captcha-only is maybe wrong, because some registries also use JavaScript and nice stuff nobody wants. So "webonly" is maybe a better common calling... This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 11 development cycle. Changing version to '11'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping Created attachment 357583 [details]
jwhois-4.0-nowhois.patch
This is my proposal to solve my mentioned issue. It can either output a
URL from the configuration file if the registry just has something webbased
which can't be queried via lynx/w3m etc. because of captcha or JavaScript
or it can output that there's no automated whois server at this registry
at all.
Vitezslav, can you maybe technically review my patch? I'm not really a C
coder nor do I have very deep knowledge about jwhois. I've sent my proposal
to the sometimes responsive upstream, too.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 12 development cycle. Changing version to '12'.

(And it doesn't seem that it'll be implemented upstream either.) |
