Using Web Based Whois (HTTP Proxy) Lookups in Domain Name Management Software


The newer builds of our Domain Name Management Software products support web based (http proxy) for whois lookups.

You will need to host a web server script that does whois lookup. The script should accept parameters using the GET method and shouldn’t use any challenge-response system.

The whois is setup is done in the same way it is done for regular port-43 configuration.

Assume that your whois lookup page is at

http://www.yourdomain.com/whois?domain=example.com

You should enter the following in the whois setup dialog.

Whois Server: www.yourdomain.com
Port: 80
Comand Line: GET /whois?domain={D}

Please fill in the other settings like date format, search token, etc. based on the actual whois record data as returned by your script.
