Hi, First of all: I'm not sure if this is the correct mailing list for questions regarding the Database REST API. If it isn't then I'm sorry, and I hope you might point me in the right direction. I am in need of API access to the RIPE database, both for querying and updating. I have been looking at the REST API documented at http://labs.ripe.net/ripe-database/database-api/api-documentation. I can connect, but I am unable to get a response from the lab.db.ripe.net server. No error or anything else. I'm accessing the server from the address 193.69.55.146. Here's one example, using curl on one of your example URLs: $ curl -v http://lab.db.ripe.net/whois/lookup/ripe/mntner/RIPE-DBM-MNT * About to connect() to lab.db.ripe.net port 80 (#0) * Trying 193.0.19.31... connected * Connected to lab.db.ripe.net (193.0.19.31) port 80 (#0)
GET /whois/lookup/ripe/mntner/RIPE-DBM-MNT HTTP/1.1 User-Agent: curl/7.21.3 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) libcurl/7.21.3 OpenSSL/0.9.8o zlib/1.2.3.4 libidn/1.18 Host: lab.db.ripe.net Accept: */*
.. then nothing. Anyone know what might be wrong here? Also I'm not quite sure where or how to get the required password to perform updates. Any pointers? Would be much appreciated. :-) Regards, Roger Kind Kristiansen
