I am developing a site for domain registration and web hosting by using resellerclub.com API, now i want to create a page for WHOIS which provide the information for any website. But there is no API which provide this information. I asked them and they told me that :
use certain scripts at your end and make calls to our whois server, whois.directi.com at port 43.
What this mean and how can i use that??? is there any one who knows about it.???

You contact their service with a call (soap, xmp-rpc) and they will reply with an xml probably, use that xml to display the information on your site. At least this is how should they do it.
Or you may use cURL (hardcore method) and check what they returns.
Or use a system command to ask their server and parse the text received.

To many or's :D, anyone else has a different idea?
