Introduction

The Whois module aims to provide a common interface and structure for dealing with character information from FunCom. To do this, it provides functions for looking up whois data as well as providing a cache of data to reduce load on FunCom's servers as well as fail gracefully when FunCom's servers are unresponsive.
