Description Benedikt Böhm (RETIRED) gentoo-dev

currently whois is built without iconv support which results in "unreadable" responses from the denic whois server:


$ whois grün.de --verbose
Using server whois.denic.de.
Query string: "-T dn,ace -C US-ASCII xn--grn-ioa.de"
% Error: 55000000013 Invalid charset for response

without the charset flag, it works:

$ telnet whois.denic.de whois
Trying 81.91.170.6...
Connected to whois.denic.de.
Escape character is '^]'.
-T dn,ace xn--grn-ioa.de

% Version: 2.0
...

please add HAVE_LIBICONV to emake, and it should work again.
