Hi list! I use the WhoisClient, which is fairly easy:
WhoisClient w = new WhoisClient(); w.connect(whoisServer); String result = w.query(domainName); w.disconnect(); But if the domain name is punicode (for example for german Umlauts) than the result is always: Domain: xn--bandscheibenvorflle-vwb.de Status: invalid But if I query the whois directly, the correct answer is given. Do anybody has any idea to this?
