whois Report in Turing

[ecliptical]

code:

procedure whois (url : string)     %put "Results for ", url     var netStream : int     var net_line : char     netStream := Net.OpenURLConnection ("http://www.checkdomain.com/cgi-bin/checkdomain.pl?domain=" + url)     if netStream <= 0 then         put "Unable to connect to ", url, " on port 80"         return     end if     var fileNo : int     open : fileNo, "viewme.t", write     var flag := false     var x, y : int := 0     put "Results for ", url     loop         exit when eof (netStream)         get : netStream, net_line         if net_line = "<" then             flag := true         elsif net_line = ">" then             flag := false         end if         if not flag and net_line not= ">" and net_line not= "<" then             color (green)             put net_line ..             write : fileNo, net_line         else         end if     end loop     Net.CloseConnection (netStream)     close : fileNo end whois whois ("google.com")

Not bad, three things.

1.

code:

setscreen("text:max;max")

2. As the next step, try formatting/filtering the results to be more readable.
3. I take this oppurtunity to ask you and everyone else relevant, why so much freaking whitespace?!

[ecliptical]

Thanks for the input...

2.Filtering the output:
Ya I might probably turn it into a class where you can call the different propertise of a domain.

whois.expire()
whois.owner()
whois.nameserver()

3. As for white space that's actually the "flagged out" html which I think actually makes for some decent (quick and dirty) results.

I meant in the code.

ohh ahha opps umm... i have other things in there that I was still testing out

Download Progress Bar
Clipping The MP3 ..etc

On a side note what is with this site dead links/downloads, don't work., no edit...etc ?

[[Gandalf]]

Yeah, that has only been happening recently, this is probably worst yet. No uploads and downloads, can't view anything with syntax highlighting, etc. It's mostly because the site is in the process of being updated to a new version.

Editing was taken away so that newbies wouldn't clear their posts after getting help. If you wish to complain, do it here.

[ecliptical]

haha ... ahh im not much of a complainer just enjoyed the irony of a "compsci" website being so buggy...you'd there would be an ample supply of programmers to fix things =)

[[Gandalf]]

Yes, well, it's mostly Hacker Dan and/or Tony working on things. It wouldn't be a very secure site if everyone had access to files to fix them, right? They are not always on, moving to a new version takes time and yes, there will be bugs and broken links .

Although I'm not sure as to the nature of the attached files bug, since some work while most don't. There is even no error message.

[ecliptical]

Of course I didn't mean everyone should have access... but regardless it's a good site (it'll just be better once everything is working)

[Unisyst]

Instead of making a new topic I just want to make a quick question: Why doesnt the download links work for me? I get a 0kb empty file everytime, and I'd really like to check out the 3D engines for Turing.

[[Gandalf]]

The site has been having some trouble recently, read the News. Hopefully it'll get fixed up sometime soon.

I dun get wat this does

Let's say you have some site, blahjablahblah.com, well using something like this (or any whois lookup) you can almost always figure out where the owner lives, their phone number, etc. Now, what you do with that information is your responsibility and it's up to you not to abuse it.

In reality you *might* get their real information, you'll probably get fake information. Check out microsoft's whois info, it's almost never right, and many small site owners use fake information to avoid spam and junk mail (even I do, the only real thing on my whois is my name and an email address).

Interesting, too bad Turing isn't the greatest, or for that matter, suitable "web browsers".

*edit* Scratch that, this won't work for gui.... *edit*
*edit edit* Nevermind, it is because he uses write for the file, instead of put! *edit edit*
