Description Robert Scheck 2009-02-22 04:06:52 UTC
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";
        }
