Doug<\/a> posted a query on the cfguru list asking how he might retrieve whois information using ColdFusion. I mentioned that there are numerous tags (search on google<\/a> if you want to see them), but that it’s pretty easy to do within ColdFusion if you drop the Jakarta Commons\/Net <\/a> jar into your ColdFusion lib directory (cfusionmx\/wwwroot\/WEB-INF\/lib\/):<\/p>\n

<cfscript>
\n  whois = createObject(“java”, “org.apache.commons.net.WhoisClient”);
\n  whois.init();
\n  whois.connect(“192.149.252.43”); \/\/ whois.arin.net
\n  WriteOutput(whois.query(“204.212.42.4”)); \/\/ your random ip address here
\n  whois.disconnect();
\n<\/cfscript><\/p>\n

Note that the whois service works over port 43, so your server must have outbound access to port 43 (if you’re accessing a server outside your own network, performance would presumably be much better if you ran your own whois server internally).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
