Supplied TLD is incorrect

[thetrusteeco]

Another +1 for you

Thanks for your diligence. I believe people should be thanked for their commitment to community support so they know they're appreciated, and I do appreciate the effort you put into the whois client services

Kindest regards,

Thanks TallShip.  Always appreciated the props.

whois.txt v10 might be the last.  Most TLDs that can be fixed in HostBill have been.  Some others could be made operational if KBKP was willing to add a couple more functions to the WHOIS script:
1) https:// query (Like http:// query but via https://) - .ve (would have to work with a self signed SSL), .cr, .gr (without being listed at GRWEB), etc.
2) http:// query without the TLD specified - .dj, and .tj for example want "domain" submitted to the WHOIS, not "domain.tld"

I don't think KBKP is going to make any changes to the WHOIS functions if they can't even bother shipping an updated whois.php file.  Instead they keep shipping the same broken code.  We're heading to Blesta as soon as we feel it's stable enough.  Paul might still need to do a lot of work, but I think he's more likely to do it than KBKP is.  It's really unfortunate, because I love the functional parts of HostBill.

It looks like Internet Computer Bureau has make some changes that have affected HostBill's ability to query their site. Below are the fixes for .ac, .io, .sh and .tm.

For .ac
REPLACE:

Code Select Expand

'.ac' => Array(
'server' => 'http://www.nic.ac/cgi-bin/whois?query=',
'available' => 'This Domain is available for purchase'
),

WITH:

Code Select Expand

'.ac' => Array(
'server' => 'http://www.nic.ac/cgi-bin/whois?query=',
'available' => 'This Domain is'
),

For .io
REPLACE:

Code Select Expand

'.io' => Array(
'server' => 'http://www.nic.io/cgi-bin/whois?query=',
'available' => 'This Domain is available for purchase'
),

WITH:

Code Select Expand

'.io' => Array(
'server' => 'http://www.nic.io/cgi-bin/whois?query=',
'available' => 'This Domain is'
),

For .sh
REPLACE:

Code Select Expand

'.sh' => Array(
'server' => 'http://www.nic.sh/cgi-bin/whois?query=',
'available' => 'This Domain is available for purchase'
),

WITH:

Code Select Expand

'.sh' => Array(
'server' => 'http://www.nic.sh/cgi-bin/whois?query=',
'available' => 'This Domain is'
),

For .tm
REPLACE:

Code Select Expand

'.tm' => Array(
'server' => 'http://www.nic.tm/cgi-bin/whois?query=',
'available' => 'This Domain is available for purchase'
),

WITH:

Code Select Expand

'.tm' => Array(
'server' => 'http://www.nic.tm/cgi-bin/whois?query=',
'available' => 'This Domain is'
),

To get .dm (Dominica) domains working in HostBill:

UNDER:

Code Select Expand

'.dk' => Array(
'server' => 'whois.dk-hostmaster.dk',
'available' => 'No entries found'
),

ADD:

Code Select Expand

'.dm' => Array(
'server' => 'whois.nic.dm',
'available' => 'not found...'
),

If you want add support for the .co.pt and .lta.pt SLD, do the following:

IN:

/includes/extend/whois/whois.php

UNDER:

Code Select Expand

'.pt' => Array(
'server' => 'whois.dns.pt',
'available' => 'no match'
),

ADD:

Code Select Expand

'.co.pt' => Array(
'server' => 'whois.co.pt',
'available' => 'no match'
),
'.lta.pt' => Array(
'server' => 'whois.co.pt',
'available' => 'no match'
),

If you want add support for the .ls (Lesotho) TLD, do the following:

IN:

/includes/extend/whois/whois.php

UNDER:

Code Select Expand

'.lk' => Array(
'server' => 'whois.nic.lk',
'available' => 'This Domain is not available in our whois database'
),

ADD:

Code Select Expand

'.ls' => Array(
'server' => 'http://www.co.ls/co.asp?CT_DNS_NAME=',
'available' => 'No records returned.'
),

Hi,

Thinks its odd no one added the new TLD's yet, so here is my contribution for .link

UNDER:

Code Select Expand

    '.la' => Array

        (

        'server' => 'whois.nic.la',

        'available' => 'NOT FOUND'

    ),

PUT

Code Select Expand

    '.link' => array(

        'server' => 'whois.uniregistry.net',

        'available' => 'is available for registration'

    )

Hello,

Thanks for the sharing, I created a Github repository for this file:
https://github.com/phoenixlzx/hostbill-whois

Added all patches in this post and some others. :-)

[DeLeTe Me]

Nice work But Hostbill added all new major TLD's some weeks ago in an update.

[phoenixlzx]

Well I downloaded the latest version but still got the file I previously got.

They added new TLDs, but not enough. Such as `.moe` isnt exist in this file. I added these to my file in the repo.

Dear All,

I am having some issues adding some domains.  For example:

.Technology
.Tech
.London
.Wales
.cymru

I understand these can be added in the whois.php file but how do I find the right look-up register for each one? 

For example, I add the below line in the whois.php and I get a message (on the Domain Registration ordering screen)  Domain ss.wales NOT AVAILABLE

'.wales' => array( 'server'=>'whois.nic.wales', 'available'=>'Not Registered'),

Any ideas?  Am I missing something else?

Thanks in advance.

Just thought I'd pop this in here for historical reference:

There is a module called Whois Servers which allows you to set whois server on each tld if needed.  It also show which TLDs you sell as products and which ones you don't.
