Dear Herbert The RIPE NCC does not currently have a java client for accessing the Whos Database. However Google shows that there are a number of these available. You could try this one for example: http://www.skytouch.com/soft/java/whois.html I hope this will help you. Regards Denis Walker Software Enginerring Department RIPE NCC Herbert M. Harrell wrote:
We would like our server to be able to query Ripe automatically to obtain the name of the owner of an IP address.
Such a query would occur whenever our server receives an http request from an unknown remote address.
We would program the function in Java.
Could you point me to a place in your documentation that will show us how to use the Ripe database in this way?
Thank you very much.
