According to /etc/jwhois.conf, "-C UTF-8 -T dn,ace" is going to be passed to the WHOIS server. I feel you should disable that part of your configuration, before firing your whois request... disabling query-format - line in jwhois.conf (didn't knew such a file existed *oops*) doesn't change anything. [IDN encoding of '-T dn 123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123.de' failed with error code 5] The fail is caused by libidn function idna_to_ascii_lz, error code 5 means "Output would be too large or too small". I think whois shouldn't pass RIPE options to that function, it's a bug. Can be workarounded with giving RIPE options through jwhois.conf . Created attachment 484466 [details]
proposed patch
Sorry for confusion in previous comment, I meant of course general whois server options, not just RIPE extended options...
I attached proposed patch which should fix the issue and there'll be update available soon in the testing. Please let me know if it works as expected.
jwhois-4.0-24.fc14 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 14. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/jwhois-4.0-24.fc14 jwhois-4.0-26.fc15 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 15. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/jwhois-4.0-26.fc15 jwhois-4.0-24.fc14 has been pushed to the Fedora 14 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. jwhois-4.0-26.fc15 has been pushed to the Fedora 15 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. Guys, I discussed the patch with Jonas Oberg and there's one question - the patch presumes, that queried address is last jwhois argument... What do you think - is it safe? Can we be sure that the last jwhois argument is always the queried address? I don't recall a case where the address isn't the last jwhois argument.
And
sorry for that trouble, I didn't think about that issue when I wrote the IDN
support for jwhois something like 6 years ago.
By the way...your patch needs one tiny fix, because of a mistake:
-printf("[IDN encoding of '%s' failed with error code %d]\n", qstring, rc);
+printf("[IDN encoding of '%s' failed with error code %d]\n", argv[optind], rc);
