I know that many of you are using my BW Whois on your sites.
I have just released BW Whois version 3.4. The major change is that it now
works with the .org registry.
The .ORG whois server at whois.publicinterestregistry.net is a "thin" whois
server that refers requests to another whois server (e.g.,
whois.opensrs.net), in much the same manner as the .COM/.NET thin server at
whois.crsnic.net. Instead of copying the format of a working thin server
(e.g., whois.crsnic.net), the folks at Afilias chose to implement their own
new format (which is both unnecessary and dysfunctional). As if that
weren't enough of a wrench-in-the-works, they chose to use bare CR (\x0D)
for line-endings.
My whois software was smart enough to know that they were making referrals,
but alas it broke down on the line-endings. That is fixed in the 3.4 version.
