DefaultServer Property

The default server from which to retrieve registrar information.

Syntax

 whois.getDefaultServer([callback])
 whois.setDefaultServer( defaultServer, [callback])

Default Value

"whois.internic.net"


Callback

The 'callback' parameter specifies a function which will be called when the operation completes (or an error is encountered). If the 'callback' parameter is not specified, then the method will block and will not return until the operation completes (or an error is encountered).

The callback for the getDefaultServer([callback]) method is defined as:

function(err, data){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'data' is the value returned by the method.

The callback for the setDefaultServer([callback]) method is defined as:

function(err){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'err' has 2 properties which hold detailed information:

err.code
err.message

Remarks

If Server is empty, then the class will attempt to connect to DefaultServer and determine the WHOIS server of the registrar of the domain. The Server property will then be set to the name of the WHOIS server of the registrar, and a WHOIS request will be issued against that server.

The default value for DefaultServer is "whois.internic.net".
