Setting Up HTTP Whois Search
To set up the whois search for a plug-in, you need to:
- Contact your Registrar support and ask them to register the IP address of the computer that runs HSPcomplete (your Management Node). Without this registration all requests sent by the plug-in will be rejected by the Registry.
- In the HSPcomplete Control Center register a separate whois server for Registrar and configure it properly:
- Select Service Director - Domain Manager - Setup.
- Click the Whois Servers tab on the Setup menu.
- Click the New Whois Server button.
- On the New Whois Server form that appears check the Use http protocol box. Some fields will become unavailable (Port, Command prefix, Command suffix, Drop TLD in request). Enter a new whois server friendly name into the Title field. And into the Whois server you must enter the URL to whois query.
A domain name will be added to the query automatically.
Set the option button to Use 'domain not found' pattern. Enter the usual pattern for a whois server into the field next to this option, e.g. Domain does not exist.
- Click the Save button.
