Hi, again
Since I have not got any response. I used
http://whois.ote.arin.net/rest/cidr/65.127.10.160/29/more to get the xml from
Arin’s RESTful server. I got this <nets>
<?xml version='1.0'?>
<?xml-stylesheet type='text/xsl' href='http://whois.arin.net/xsl/website.xsl' ?>
<nets xmlns="http://www.arin.net/whoisrws/core/v1";

xmlns:ns3="http://www.arin.net/whoisrws/netref/v2";

<limitExceeded limit="256">false</limitExceeded>
<netRef startAddress="65.127.10.176"
endAddress="65.127.10.183"

handle="NET-65-127-10-176-1">
http://whois.ote.arin.net/rest/net/NET-65-127-10-176-1
</netRef>
<netRef startAddress="65.127.10.168"
endAddress="65.127.10.175"

</netRef>
</nets>
Just need to confirm that this is the correct response. The list of netRef can
be null if there is no 65.127.10.160/29 in Arin’s DB. Correct? Do I miss any
other elements?. Just need to make sure that I won’t get the code crash if
there is new element showing up in <nets>. I will appreciate if I can get any
response from you.
Sean,
The list will not contain any netRef elements if there are no records matching
the query.
However, your program should account for a scenario where new elements may show
up. Our XML schema is extensible, and we do add new elements from time to time.
In general, it is good practice to ignore unknown elements and names in both
XML and JSON.
The schemas for Whois-RWS can be found here: Whois-RWS Schema (ZIP
format)<https://www.arin.net/resources/whoisrws/whoisrws-relaxng-compact-schemas.zip>
I hope this answers your question.
Andy Newton,
Chief Engineer, ARIN
