Package: whois
Version: 4.7.20
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
The attached patch adds support for HTTP GET to whois. The idea is that
several of the existing 'WEB' suffixes which cause whois to print out:
'This TLD has no whois server, but you can access the whois database at'
could be converted to GET requests. That way the user at least gets
some data back immediately.
The new format of the tld_serv_list entry is:
.domain.suffix GET http://rwhois.server/cgi-bin/whois.cgi?domain=
The domain being queried is automatically suffixed to the end of this
line.
The patch doesn't silence the warning about using RIPE flags, but that's
a minor glitch (and is more work to fix that is really required)

I do not think that printing some raw HTML markup is useful.
