Created attachment 9269 [details] WHOIS link patch On the CheckUser page there is a link to check WHOIS info, but the website's URL format changed. Attached is a patch to fix the issue.
The old url seems to continue working. If we changed it, maybe it should be to http://whois.arin.net/ui/arin.xsl?q=$1 (the search box on its top page)
Maybe we should use a WHOIS that supports RIRs other than itself. Right now I can get all the relavent information for an ARIN IP ( http://whois.arin.net/ui/arin.xsl?q=97.107.139.12 ), but anything from a different RIR is just a WHOIS for that /8 ( http://whois.arin.net/ui/arin.xsl?q=46.105.138.12 ). Not very helpful.
http://www.ip-address.org/tracer/ip-whois.php works but has ads. http://whois.domaintools.com/46.105.138.12 works without ads and only a single cookie.
Although I love domain tools I would prefer something that's, uh, not meant to be profited from. Like the WHOIS tool on the toolserver.
or a PHP implementation of WHOIS? http://pear.php.net/package/Net_Whois for example: $ pear install Net_Whois $ php -r 'require ("Net/Whois.php");$w = new Net_Whois();echo $w->query("n 46.105.138.12");' results in: # # The following results may also be obtained via: # http://whois.arin.net/rest/nets;q=46.105.138.12?showDetails=true&showARIN=false&ext=netref2 # NetRange: 46.0.0.0 - 46.255.255.255 CIDR: 46.0.0.0/8 OriginAS: NetName: 46-RIPE NetHandle: NET-46-0-0-0-0 Parent: NetType: Allocated to RIPE NCC Comment: These addresses have been further assigned to users in Comment: the RIPE NCC region.

I can see this has been marked as patch reviewed - has this been implemented yet?
nope, filed as Gerrit change #12357
The change has been merged into the git repository. Hope to see it live soon. Thank you!
