#26634: whois @5.0.7 support idn/iconv -----------------------------+---------------------------------------------- Reporter: roland@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 1.9.1 Keywords: | Port: whois -----------------------------+---------------------------------------------- Comment(by roland@…): '''After additional research, please upgrade priority! '''Reason: DENIC recently upgraded its WHOIS servers. Due to strict, explicit US- ASCII calls that whois does, when not configureed with IDN/ICONV support, currently ALL QUERIES FAIL when the response data contains any UTF-8 (e.g. Umlauts in the contact information which is very common). Examples {{{ rmoriz@Delbarestivale:~$ whois web.de --verbose Using server whois.denic.de. Query string: "-T dn -C US-ASCII web.de" % Error: 55000000013 Invalid charset for response }}} whois configured with idn/iconv support on debian/ubuntu: {{{ whois web.de --verbose Using server whois.denic.de. Query string: "-T dn,ace web.de" % Copyright (c) 2010 by DENIC % Version: 2.0 % % Restricted rights. % % Terms and Conditions of Use … (correct whois information skipped) }}} -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/26634#comment:2> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
