"whohas" works as well. Now trying to get "readprop", but that one is more
difficult (the request gets sent to a bogus address: "my" own address,

Did I understand correctly that you prefer the shorter variants? Shall I
change _DISTRIBUTION_ to _DIST_ consistently -- or only in cases where
the identifier is longer than 31 chars?

Thanks, kind regards
