Process Whois connection broken by remote peer.

Process Whois connection broken by remote peer.

[Hongyi Zhao]

I try to run whois command from with emcas by "M-x RET whois RET
domain-name", but I always meet the following error:

Process Whois connection broken by remote peer

Any hints for this problem?

Maybe this has something to do with it:

  (whois ARG SEARCH-STRING)

  Send SEARCH-STRING to server defined by the
  ‘whois-server-name’ variable.

and

  whois-server-name is a variable defined in ‘net-utils.el’.
  Its value is "rs.internic.net"

It seems to work for me for some URLs, for example gnu.org and
emacs.org, but for others like facebook.com it just hangs and returns
nothing. It certainly doesn't work as I would expect, so perhaps you
should report it as a bug.

Best wishes,

 Colin.

I checked it with above-mentioned domain names, and reproduced the
exactly same results as yours.

I'll report it on bug-gnu-emacs mailing list.
