I would like to make a query trough php
to a whois server.
With a rpm package like whois on linux
you can have a 'partial whois search'
wich means that the command
"whois 'microsoft.'" returns all the domains
names starting with 'microsoft'.
I also suceeded with this command, on Windows
with a software like 'winwhois'.
But when you try this command with
one of the many php script that
connects you to a whois server
you get the answer:
'microsoft.' domain doesn't exist.
If someone know how to query a whois
server ('rs.internic.net' for example, accepts a partial search command)
trough a php script thanks for HELP.
PS:
I suspect this could be linked
to the whois protocol, but the
adapted RFC is far from being clear.
