Re: whois server

I keep a set of whois server pointers at .whois.services.net so for example aero.whois.services.net is a CNAME for the whois server for .aero. I update it daily using a the info in the IANA database and a bunch of kludges to fill in the gaps. There's a similar set at .whois-servers.net which seems t

ls. Matt geektools.com has shut down. We started this service in 1998 as the first smart whois that would automatically query the correct server(s) to get the data you need. A lot has changed since then and it's time to move on. Most modern command line clients on *nix-like systems will select the appropr

If only we could create a committee to fix whois... Quite astonishingly, the IETF WEIRDS working group finished successfully, and its documents will be published as RFCs when they get through the editing queue in a month or two. The protocol is called RDAP, the queries are http, the results are

Re: whois server features

ARIN, APNIC, and RIPE have prototypes already that are a lot easier to script than the text WHOIS. Meaning the data structure is in place or they have a RDAP service up? Both. ARIN's and RIPE's are based on early versions so the URLs and JSON aren't quite what RDAP says they should be yet.

CRISP is dead. RDAP is real. If people need to script, then RDAP is workable JSON and for once, has converged on sensible stuff in both names and numbers. the whois problem is a formalism owned by ICANN, but as DRC pointed out the WHOIS solution is dispersed. RPSL lies to one side btw. I wish
