I've looked into it, but I can't find enough information to confirm the specific format requirements for the WHOIS server in the Registrar WHOIS Server
line.
These references seem to suggest that the expected format is to omit http://
(and any other protocol):
Based on that information and the examples I've found/reviewed thus far, it looks like the record I encountered with this line:
Registrar WHOIS Server: http://whois.pairdomains.com
should be updated to remove the http://
prefix.
Would you be willing to update this library to handle removing any leading protocol scheme and ://
characters before attempting to locate a custom port in the Registrar WHOIS Server
line?

I looked closer and found that the leading protocol scheme and ://
characters are already being removed. I compared against current master
branch and saw that this is already fixed by #26.

Hi,
First of all, many thanks for this useful library. I've used it and the whois-parse library in a Nagios plugin to monitor the expiration date of WHOIS registrations.
I recently had a user of the plugin report an issue with monitoring the expiration for a specific domain. After troubleshooting, I found that this error message:
dial tcp: address tcp///whois.pairdomains.com: unknown port
is related to this line:
If we override the WHOIS server used by explicitly specifying the whois server as whois.iana.org (which seems to be the default), the error is not encountered. This seems to be because of this code path:
https://github.com/likexian/whois/blob/a48608e6097ab07def16344e5821c03529cb472a/whois.go#L122-L124
Here the port is explicitly set to the default, ignoring any potential port specified in the
Registrar WHOIS Server
line.If we don't explicitly specify the whois server, then this path is taken:
https://github.com/likexian/whois/blob/a48608e6097ab07def16344e5821c03529cb472a/whois.go#L125-L134
and in the
getServer
function this logic is applied:https://github.com/likexian/whois/blob/a48608e6097ab07def16344e5821c03529cb472a/whois.go#L235-L239
