README GeekTools Whois Java Client Version 1.0.1 GeekTools Whois Java Client is a finger-style whois which uses the GeekTools Whois Proxy server (<whois.geektools.com>) provided by CenterGate Research Group, LLC. This program was developed by Erik C. Thauvin <[email protected]> and is distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License. See the enclosed COPYING.TXT file for more information. Components: ----------- Whois.class : Compiled Java class (required) Whois.java : Java Source code whois : Bourne shell script (launcher) whois.bat : Batch file (launcher) README.TXT : This file! COPYING.TXT : GNU General Public License Java Requirements: ------------------ A Java VM (Virtual Machine) supporting Java 2, e.g., Sun's JDK or JRE 1.3. As the source is also provided, you maybe able to recompile for earlier versions of Java. Usage: ------ java Whois query[@<whois.server>] Launchers: ---------- A batch file (whois.bat) and Bourne shell script (whois) are provided to make performing whois queries even more intuitive. For example, under Windows, you can simply use: whois example.com Under UNIX (Linux, Mac OS X, Solaris, etc.) use: ./whois example.com The launchers will report errors if the Whois.class or a valid Java Virtual Machine cannot be located. Examples: --------- GeekTools Whois Java Client usage emulates the functionality found in various BSD systems tools such as Chris Cappuccio's fwhois. For example: java Whois example.com will look for the example.com domain name registration record using the GeekTools Whois Proxy server located at whois.geektools.com. java Whois [email protected] will look for the example.com domain name registration record using the whois server located at whois.networksolutions.com. java Whois summary example.com will look for the example.com domain name registration summary using the whois proxy server located at whois.geektools.com. java Whois summary [email protected] will look for the example.com domain name registration summary using the whois server located at whois.networksolutions.com. java Whois handle IANA will look for the specified (IANA) NIC handle/contact record using the GeekTools Whois Proxy server located at whois.geektools.com. java Whois handle [email protected] will look for the specified (IANA) NIC handle/contact record using the whois server located at whois.networksolutions.com. java Whois [email protected]@ (Note: The trailing at sign (@) is REQUIRED to specify an e-mail address query.) will look for the NIC handle/contact record for the specified e-mail address ([email protected]) using the GeekTools Whois Proxy server. java Whois [email protected]@whois.networksolutions.com will look for the NIC handle/contact record for the specified e-mail address ([email protected]) using whois.networksolutions.com. Properties ---------- The Whois.properties file can also be used to change the default whois server and port. The Whois.properties file must be located in the same directory as the Whois.class file. For example, to change the default server from whois.geektools.com to whois.networksolutions.com, add the following to the properties file: server=whois.networksolutions.com Similarly, to change the default port from 43 to 46: port=46 Copyright (C) 2000-2001 by SkyTouch Communications.
