Not handling non-existent domains properly (NXDOMAIN)? #315

Open fgont opened 3 years ago

Folks,

While I haven't looked at the code, testing seems to suggest that when trying to use whatweb against a non-existing domain (i.e. DNS NXDOMAIN error), whatweb gets stuck trying to process the domain name forever, as opposed to returning an error.

Any clues?

Thanks!

Cheers, Fernando
