Thanks.  In case it proves handy, here is my _entire_ test data set.  
To explain, I made sure it included examples within every TLD that
_then_ offered public whois data.  (Some offer only Web-based whois or
other monstrosities.)  Author Ben Okopnik sometimes used my test data
set to ensure that domain-check (his Perl script) continued to match
all possible domains.

I last maintained the test data set around 2007, and there have been a
bunch of new ccTLDs[1] and (mostly) gTLDs[2] added since then, which are
occordingly not represented.

Some entries are commented out because I currently, personally, don't
care about them.  Some are double-commented out ('##') because for
various reasons they apparently can't be checked or no longer exist, or
because the expiration dates being returned for them are nonsense and of
no interest.  (ccTLDs often set a nonsense date for expiration of the 
domain of its national NIC, and those happened to be strongly
represented in my test set.)

[1] country-code top-level domains.  Until recently, if a TLD had only
two letters, you could be sure it was some country's TLD.  This might
still hold true, but I'm not certain.

[1] generic top-level domains.  There are a whole lot of new ones of
these.  Apparently about 1000 of them were added in 2014.  Obviously, I
will not aspire to keep up with most of them, as they will probably be
mostly bullshit and drop like flies.  http://www.newtldlist.com/
