I deleted the mail for someone who was requesting a Web interface to
whois. There are two ways. The easiest would be http://bw.org/whois/ which
provides a built in CGI abity in perl. The second would be to extend a CGI
script using Net::Whois.
>From the whois perl at bw.org documentation:
Automatic CGI Support
BW whois works as a CGI program without modification. You can
create your own look by using an external HTML file named
whois.html, but that is completely optional. It works fine as-
is.
The external HTML file will need a few simple "placeholders" in
it. The placeholders are replaced at runtime with the various
values which make this work. These placeholders are represented
by text enclosed in '$' signs like this: $PLACEHOLDER$
The placeholders are described here:
$SELF$
The URI path of the program on your web server, taken from
the value of the SCRIPT_NAME environment variable.
$DOMAIN$
The domain that was last looked up, if any.
$RESULT$
The result of the whois query from BW whois.
To supress the disclaimer text in the output (like --
stripheader) add a hidden field named stripheadere like this:
`<input type=hidden name=stripheader value=1>'
You can get an example file from the program with:
`whois --makehtml > whois.html'
