Removed these as although they're registered directly by Nominet they're not second level domains: - .bl.uk - .british-library.uk - .nls.uk Removed this as it has just been a normal registered domain since 2014 when direct .uk registrations opened up: - .icnet.uk Removed these as whilst not directly registered by Nominet and they do pre-date the 2014 direct .uk registrations, they're also not second level domains: - .jet.uk - .police.uk Added this which was missing: - .mil.uk
In 1999 I wrote this Whois client from scratch because the alternatives were obsolete or bloated. This client is intelligent and can automatically select the appropriate whois server for most queries. The internal database is often more accurate than IANA's published one, but please send me any information you have regarding domains and network resources which are not correctly handled by the program. Because of historical reasons this package also contains the mkpasswd program, which can be used to encrypt a password with crypt(3). The canonical distribution point for releases of the program is https://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/w/whois/ .
