Update whois server of .mt (real whois server is better than web-whois)
Last modified: 2009-02-27 05:14:36 EST
Description of problem: Please update the whois server of .mt in /etc/jwhois.conf file. I know, that IANA (http://www.iana.org/domains/root/db/mt.html) doesn't list one, but using a real whois server rather web-whois is much better and the whois server is provided by the authoritative domain registry of .mt (compare registration URL from IANA with whois server name), so let's change it... Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): jwhois-4.0-10 How reproducible: Everytime. Actual results: # whois nic.mt [Querying http://www.um.edu.mt/cgi-bin/nic/whois] [...] # Expected results: Replace "www.um.edu.mt" by "whois.nic.org.mt" in /etc/jwhois.conf # whois -h whois.nic.org.mt nic.org.mt [Querying whois.nic.org.mt] [whois.nic.org.mt] [...] # Additional info: Please try to get this fix upstream - upstream is unluckily always very very unresponsive to me.
Oh and please REMOVE the following block as well: --- snipp --- "www\\.um\\.edu\\.mt" { http = "true"; http-method = "GET"; http-action = "/cgi-bin/nic/whois"; form-element = "domain"; } --- snapp ---
