Comment(by roland@…):

 '''After additional research, please upgrade priority!

 '''Reason:

 DENIC recently upgraded its WHOIS servers. Due to strict, explicit US-
 ASCII calls that whois does, when not configureed with IDN/ICONV support,
 currently ALL QUERIES FAIL when the response data contains any UTF-8 (e.g.
 Umlauts in the contact information which is very common).

 Examples


 {{{
 rmoriz at Delbarestivale:~$ whois web.de --verbose
 Using server whois.denic.de.
 Query string: "-T dn -C US-ASCII web.de"

 % Error: 55000000013 Invalid charset for response

 }}}

 whois configured with idn/iconv support on debian/ubuntu:

 {{{
 whois web.de --verbose
 Using server whois.denic.de.
 Query string: "-T dn,ace web.de"

 (correct whois information skipped)
