This morning, between 07:00 and 09:00 (UTC), we deployed new software for the RIPE Database. Three changes were made: What happened to the planned changes about when irt objects are returned?
it is - as a 1st step - already being returned by default for web-queries.
Which just does a local "whois -- <quote-escaped options>" and formats it in a pretty way.
Just go to www.ripe.net and do a database lookup for e.g. 131.130/16 in the Database Search box, top right corner.
That trick works at the moment only when the object has a direct IRT object related to it. Take for instance 2001:7b8:300::/48 and it won't return it, unless you add the -c option. Which is prolly why you said '1st step' as that will be the 2nd step. But the 1st step has already been in place for quite some time afaik...
Btw, to everyone just reading along :-) This lookup interface is pretty cool as it does support including your favourity whois flags like -T, -r and friends in the lookup key entry-box!
IMHO the cool part is the "Advanced" box so that one can select the flags and construct a query, allowing me to forget all those options ;) Greets, Jeroen
