Error Message. The response to any request may be an error message or a successful query. If an error occurs, the service uses different error messages, depending on the severity and cause of the error. Under normal operations the Registry Operator shall make reasonable efforts to continuously update the data as requests are handled, in a matter of seconds or minutes. The Registry Operator shall ensure that records in the Whois server are updated no later than 24 hours after the registration or modification transaction with the registrar is completed. IV - Whois Query and Output Formats Query Format Queries can be made for five object types (domain, contact, nameserver, registrar, and defensive registration) with four levels of detail (Summary, Standard, Detailed, or Extensive). E- mail forwarding searches can be conducted only at the Extensive level. For web access, object types and query levels will be specified by controls on the form. For port 43 queries, the query syntax determines the object type and query level. Particular object types and query levels can be specified by including an optional keyword, and/or an optional modifier, and/or an optional password in the query. (If no keyword, or modifier or password are is supplied, the default query will search only domain objects at the Summary level of detail.) Searches for particular object types may be specified as follows: • Domain ("domain" or none): Search only by domain objects. The input string is searched in the Domain Name field. • Contact ("contact"): Search only on contact object ID. • Nameserver ("nameserver"): Search only by nameserver objects. The input string is searched in the nameserver field or the IP address field. • Registrar ("registrar"): Search only registrar objects. The input string is searched in the Name field and in the registrar ID field. • Defensive registration ("blocked"): Search only Defensive Registration objects. The Defensive Registration field is searched. • SLD E-mail address:Search only e-mail address objects at the Extensive level. The SLD E-mail Name field is searched. Levels of detail may be specified by including an optional modifier and/or password to the query. The default query level is Summary. A "Standard" query level can be specified by including the "=" modifier. When a password is provided, the response will be returned in Detailed or Extensive format, depending on the manner in which the password was obtained. Example for Port 43 queries appear below. ▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇ or domain ▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇ or ▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇ or ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇ summary query for domain name domain = ▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇ or domain=▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇ standard query for domain name domain ▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇ XyYpF4Ju8Ma5 or domain ▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇ XyYpF4Ju8Ma5 detailed query for domain name nameserver ▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇ summary query for nameserver Each data object shall be represented as a set of key/value pairs, where each key runs from the start of the line, until the first colon (":"), and where any white space found immediately preceding the first colon shall not be counted as part of the key. All data excluding the first continuous sequence of white space following the first colon, up to but excluding the line feed should count as part of the value. All Whois data will be in the ASCII character set, which has encoding compatible with UTF-8 for easy transition to including internationalized data, and as per the IETF's recommendations on i18n in Internet protocols. For fields where more than one value exists, multiple key/value pairs with the same key shall be allowed (for example to list multiple nameservers). The first key/value pair after a blank line should be considered the start of a new record, and should be considered as identifying that record, and is used to group data, such as hostnames and IP addresses, or a domain name and registrant information, together. The following table specifies the data elements reported in response to various query types and levels: Flags and Public/Extensive Whois fields: • X - Field will always be output if data is available. • O - Field is optional, and may not be displayed • U - Field displayed only if contact different in content from registrant contact (differences in Contact IDs are ignored) • M - Field may be represented as multiple key/value pairs Sections: • M - Multiple subrecords may be displayed If the data is not available, the key will not be displayed. The "flags" column applies to all output formats.
