Inconsistency in how whois.srs.net.nz works compared to whois.verisign-grs.com.
Raw
README.md

It seems that typing domain example.com means "give me this domain only", but just saying "example.com" is a query for things with example.com in them.

With the SRS, if I type nodejs.geek.nz it returns the details as though it is a domain command like above, but typing domain nodejs.geek.nz gives 500 Invalid characters in query string.

i.e. either it is not recognised as a valid command or a valid query.

(Note: I'm going off what I see, I'm not sure what it should actually do.)

Does that help?
