Hi Dmitry, This is imposed by RPSL: In RPSL, the leading space signifies that that line is a continuation line. If we ignore them all, then we would lose some information, so we can't ignore them. On Fri, 15 Jun 2001, Dmitry Morozovsky wrote:
Hello there colleagues,
I suppose it is not so hard to implement ignoring of leading whitespaces in update messages. Just because automatic RIPE-141 checker produce indented objects...
Hmmm. OK, we'll contact maintainers of RIPE-141 checker... Thanks for feedback, best regards, Engin Gunduz RIPE NCC Database Group
Thank you as always for you cooperation.
