Whois works with fsockopen not with curl

问题

This works:

$connection = fsockopen("whois.iis.se", 43);
fputs($connection, "google.se\r\n");
while (!feof($connection)) {
    $data .= fgets($connection, 4096);
}
fclose($connection);
echo nl2br($data);

But this do not work:

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "whois.iis.se");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PORT, 43);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, TRUE);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, TRUE);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "google.se\r\n");
$data = curl_exec($ch); 
curl_close($ch);
echo nl2br($data);

What is wrong with this curl function?

回答1:

The WHOIS service protocol is much older than HTTP, dating from the mid 1980s, and has little to nothing in common with it. You can only use curl on HTTP-type connections, not arbitrary services.

回答2:

I know this is a year old but: The accepted answer is incorrect. cURL actually did have functionality to support the Whois protocol but it takes a bit more than a simple request.

I do not know the exact translation to PHP but I think this would just need options changed to support TELNET since that is what Whois uses:

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PROTOCOLS, CURLPROTO_TELNET);

Finally once you get a response back, you may need to deal with referrals unless you are hitting the direct Whois server that has the actual WhoIs data. For the Whois server in the example it should return mot addresses as as the response for google.se.

This support has been in it for a long time now, I believe even before this question was asked.

UPDATE:

Sorry, haven't really worked with PHP much and PHP's CURL but got the following to work. It isn't ideal but wasn't sure best way to handle the stdin stuff.

$filename = "query.txt";
$fp = fopen($filename, "r");

function readFunc($ch, $fh, $length = false) {
  return fread($fh, $length);
}

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "telnet://whois.iis.se:43");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PORT, 43);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, TRUE);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, TRUE);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_NOPROGRESS, TRUE);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PROTOCOLS, CURLPROTO_TELNET);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_INFILE, $fp);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_INFILESIZE, filesize($filename));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_READFUNCTION, 'readFunc');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, TRUE);  // Can take this out

$data = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
echo nl2br($data);

This then returns:

If you need it to work for random strings, then you can easily just write to a temporary file and use that to pass into the function. I unfortunately do not have the time to continue digging through the PHP curl options to determine which option may work best for streaming the data to the WHOIS server.

The file query.txt just has google.se in it.
