A WHOIS module for Node.js written in CoffeeScript. WhoisJS is able to perform lookups on over 200 TLDs.
This library has been tested with Node.JS v0.4.12 and v0.10.26
$ npm install whoisjs
Whoisjs = require('whoisjs').whois
who = new Whoisjs()
domain = "google.fr"
who.query domain, (response) ->
state = "available" if response.available()
state = "unavailable" if response.unavailable()
state = "timeout" if response.timeout()
state = "error" if response.error()
state ||= "unknown"
callback(domain, state);
From the above, response.raw contains the response data from the Whois server. console.log it, and see what's happening.
The lib/whois/server/adapters files describe how the response is interpreted via the positive(), negative(), and error() functions.
If you notice the responses aren't being registered correctly, please file an issue or send a pull request, and it'll get fixed up!

WhoisJS is inspired by Ruby Whois
