Hi Rene, I made those changes you asked for including RISwhois and Cookie check. Please have a look and let me know if you would have any comments. Arife Link for URL with args, cookie check and On Wed, 23 Feb 2005 18:10:36 +0100, Rene Wilhelm wrote:

Hi,

The new CGIs on www.ris.ripe.net have one important thing missing: they do not support entering parameters via the URL and they do not report the entered parameters either.

For example, something like

http://www.ris.ripe.net/perl-risapp/risearch.html?net=192.228.79.201&preftype=lspec&action=Search&startDay=20050222&startHour=13&startMin=00&startSec=00&endDay=20050222&endHour=16&endMin=30&endSec=00&rrcb=all&peer=all&type=%25&sortby=stime&outype=html&.cgifields=type

no longer works, it just comes back with the default form.

This makes it impossible to discuss RIS results via e-mail, something we will need and have used in the past when reporting on routing incidents (e.g. triggered by users' request to explain DNSMon or TTM observations). In the absence of URLs with query params, it is also difficult for network engineers to share RIS observations with their colleagues.

So, could you have a look and fix the CGIs? might be as trivial as adding a method="get" to the html code.

Thanks,

P.S. and while you're at it, you might want to run your pages through the validator at http://validator.w3.org/ Currently, risearch.html is not valid XHTML 1.0 Transitional.
