Whois.available?("google-is-not-available-try-again-later.com") # => true
# File lib/whois/parser_extensions/whois.rb, line 35 def available?(object) result = lookup(object).available? if result.nil? warn "This method is not supported for this kind of object.\n" + "Use Whois.lookup('#{object}') instead." end result end
