ARIN has received a suggestion requesting Whois queries made from "http" be automatically redirected to "https" in order to make the queries more secure. It has also been suggested ARIN consider using HSTS for Whois services. These suggestions were made through ARIN's Consultation and Suggestion Process and are documented at the following URL: https://www.arin.net/participate/acsp/suggestions/2018-3.html
Question: Should ARIN automatically redirect user Whois queries made via "http" to "https"? Question: If ARIN redirects http to https requests, should ARIN then use HSTS for web-based Whois queries? The feedback you provide during this consultation will help inform how ARIN will proceed in response to ACSP 2018.3. All messages that have been sent to the arin-consult mailing lists in response to this suggestion prior to the opening of this consultation will be included in our feedback collection resulting from this consultation.
