Hi All,
  I'm sure this is an easy one to those in the know. Basically I want to code a script that checks a remote webserver by domain name and returns what data it can. I've seen scripts doing this such as:-
http://whois.domaintools.com/cosmicperl.com
I know how to grab the page with LWP, and I could figure out how to get the DMOZ listings, etc. But what I have no clue about is the "Server Data" section, which for the example site contains:-
Server Data
Server Type: Apache/2.0.54 (Fedora)
IP Address: 213.133.65.182
IP Location United Kingdom - United Kingdom - Netsight Internet Solutions Ltd
Response Code: 200
Blacklist Status: Clear
SSL Cert: localhost.localdomain SSL Certificate has expired.
Domain Status: Registered And Active Website

I know it's GeoIP for the IP location, but how is it telling the server type? SSL cert? And forgive me for being stupid but right now I can't remember how to get an IP from a domain name.

Thanks in advance
