Please add support for .nl domains

[Wanabo]

When checking a .nl domain (for example google.nl) it has all ways status unknown. Like it is not registered, but in fact it is. Can you fix this?

Whois unfortunately doesn't show many interesting info (no date), but maybe @click0 has some idea 😄

I think the .eu and .nl domain zones we can not check on the date of the end of the delegation.

Ok, a calculation of expiration date and grace period might not be possible. But the status of the domain is available.
Domain name: google.nl
Status: active

googleabc.nl is free

Free should translate in script domain-check.sh to status "unknown".
This way there is at least a check of the availability of the domain.

This script is designed to determine the expiry date of the domain, and only secondarily we are interested in the status of the domain.
To check the existence of a domain there are other services.
For example - https://godaddy.com/domains/domain-name-search

For me it is primarily the status of the domain that interests me. Only with status unknown you can try to register the domain. The expiry date is merely an indication of when the domain becomes available, and this differs per extension. I've setup a cronjob to check reguarly. Using for example godaddy.com won't have the benefit of automatically checking with a cron job, nor will you be alerted by mail like domain-check.sh script can.

@Wanabo You can try this => https://github.com/PolishFiltersTeam/ScriptsPlayground/blob/master/scripts/DSC.sh. It's little improved version of that script and options are the same, but I removed registrar field, added new statuses not based on expiration date and it's more general, so less hard-coded TLDs (many thanks for @tdulcet for this).

@hawkeye116477 Thanks, I will try that.
