Package: whois
Version: 4.7.13
Severity: wishlist
Hi there,
gnome-nettool is a GNOME program which offers to call whois from a GUI
to present WHOIS queries. However, it is hard for the program to
detect when whois failed processing a query because of invalid
parameters as the exit code is often zero. One example is:
whois 'google.de#' && echo true
No whois server is known for this kind of object.
true
but perhaps you can suggest another way to distinguish between the
program's output and WHOIS data. One of the problems in gnome-nettool
is that the program has to convert the output of the command to UTF-8
to display it in a Gtk interface, and since the data comes both from
the whois program itself, or from WHOIS servers, data can be mixed in
various encodings (such as UTF-8 and ISO-8859-1 respectively).
Perhaps you can suggest a nice way to handle this communication in
gnome-nettool? I'll be happy to bring your suggestions to the upstream
gnome-nettool developers.
