But would contradict all current WHOIS replies in use and make it harder to parse. Consider the following of which several are standard replies on all IRCd's: :tsunami.uicn.net 311 ShadowMaster Emperor Shadow server-admin.uicn.net * :To IRC And Beyond :tsunami.uicn.net 307 ShadowMaster Emperor :has identified for this nick :tsunami.uicn.net 319 ShadowMaster Emperor :@#Test #IRCOps #Help :tsunami.uicn.net 312 ShadowMaster Emperor tsunami.uicn.net :Live Debugging :tsunami.uicn.net 275 ShadowMaster Emperor :is using a secure connection (SSL) :tsunami.uicn.net 313 ShadowMaster Emperor :is a Server Administrator :tsunami.uicn.net 614 ShadowMaster Emperor :is available for help :tsunami.uicn.net 317 ShadowMaster Emperor 4441 1034775913 :seconds idle, signon time :tsunami.uicn.net 318 ShadowMaster emperor :End of /WHOIS list. They all carry the trademark of being constructed with easy parsing in mind. Why should undernet go the opposite way with their new reply and not make it easilly parseable? Undernets new whois reply may not look to good when its not parsed, but neither do reply 318 when its not parsed. London.UK.Eu.UnderNet.org 330 ShadowMas Matrix rewt :is logged in as where rewt is a parameter of its own and is logged in as is a parameter of its own London.UK.Eu.UnderNet.org 330 ShadowMas Matrix :is logged in as rewt where rewt is not a parameter of its own. - -- Yours Sincerely Thomas Juberg Stens�s - -- What we do in life echoes in eternity -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.0 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE9rYMYm5JSuDogRncRAiU8AKDZs/PYqvyrJ2Jyg6vzOezk04CIQwCeLpON xyRV2xnuH32sFT9vasz9lws= =J/Jy -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
