whois doesn't work

[Vito Mulè]

the problem is with the server used by the applet:

vmule at agent4:~/busybox$ nslookup whois-servers.net 43
socket.c:1915: internal_send: 0.0.0.43#53: Invalid argument
^C
vmule at agent4:~/busybox$ nslookup whois-servers.net
Server: 192.168.1.254
Address: 192.168.1.254#53

Non-authoritative answer:
Name: whois-servers.net
Address: 204.74.78.75

vmule at agent4:~/busybox$ telnet 204.74.78.75 43
Trying 204.74.78.75...
^C

whois-servers.net

linus whois uses this:

vmule at agent4:~/busybox$ telnet 204.74.78.75 43
Trying 204.74.78.75...
^C
vmule at agent4:~/busybox$ nslookup 192.12.192.242
Server: 192.168.1.254
Address: 192.168.1.254#53

Non-authoritative answer:
242.192.12.192.in-addr.arpa name = whois.nic.it.


using this solves the issue:

vmule at agent4:~/busybox$ ./busybox_unstripped whois www.google.it
Domain:             www.google.it
Status:             UNASSIGNABLE

Patch incoming.
