Package: whois
Version: 5.0.18
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
This was originally reported in Ubuntu here:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/whois/+bug/1040586
The attached patch changes the expected encoding from koi8-u to utf-8.
I was unable to find a domain in .ua that had koi8-u encoded characters in
its response, but I found several which provided multi-byte UTF-8 chars:
kiev.ua
search.ua
In order to test, one can simply open a UTF-8 encoding terminal with
LANG set to a utf-8 language (such as en_US.UTF-8) and run 'whois
search.ua'. They will be garbled because they are being decoded as koi8-u
and then re-encoded as UTF-8.
LANG=C whois search.ua
The characters appear as proper multi-byte cyrillic characters.
Also the Ubuntu user who reported this has passed on a message from the
administrators that the encoding is utf-8.
