UK Whois Lookup Tool

retired_member6 · 02-02-2006, 02:08:24 AM

Perhaps you could do a different tick box for those just looking up bulk overture, that might lessen the look ups on your access. It's a free service so I'm certainly nothing but grateful for being able to do the searches on either.

Yes, it's a real pain this limitation of 1000 searches per 24 hour period, much better with 10,000.

Jay, as I'm providing a free service to hopefully non Dac users any chance you can exempt me.

Approximately 50 unique users per day user the script to query the whois so this new quota will be a pain to them as well.

Lee, when I find the time I will add a second check box so that you can do just Overture searches, I will add as well a means for the user to define how long they want the timeout to be with say the default being 5 seconds.

If you have any other suggestions, let me know.

A muddle.

Lee, I'm well confused by your post. Firstly, I haven't got Nominet or Dac membership so I can't do any more than 1000 searches per day from my script, and secondly I don't do any whois searches for myself. The limitation is purely down to Nominet.

Ah well apd, we're buggered then. Nice one Nominet.

It's given me an idea though, I'll be in touch within the next 24 hours once I've read up on a few things.

Hi Mate,

Thanks for bringing that to my attention DB, it seems that my hosting company has updated my server today but has accidently left off the perl module "HTML::TreeBuilder" which the whois script needs. I will contact them in the morning.

P.S. Sorry, I haven't done anything about making the whois script available to sell, it's because we've just been too busy writing the code for a new price comparison website (exactly the same functionality as Pricegrabber, Kelkoo, etc).

Thanks for the update apd. I would def buy a copy of that software if you ever get round to getting it built

Cheers mate

apd let me know how you get on with the price comparison, if it's not just for a client or personal business use.

Cheers
Lee
