#3 Project still alive?

[heutger]

Hi,

I tried many ways to contact John Bro, but for sure, SPAM is a problem, but currently it looks-a-like all contact ways run in a SPAM filter and get filtered out. However, e.g. the whoislist is completely outdated, the IP ranges are outdated, some of them are allowed in his working demo, but also there are already some lacks. The CVS links to a 404... So what's the future of the project?

Regards,
Christian

Here's a quick patch to force queries into previously restricted ip ranges, handle ARIN's new query format for ip's, and retry failed queries that were cached:

Hi,

thanks first for your response and help.

I already updated some of the files to have the newest WHOIS servers and the newest ARIN space stored inside, however from one day to another IP check failed, thanks for your help, the format changed, that's right. However, now it find e.g. for my IP addresses RIPE again, but it does now do not print any output any more.

I will check, if I can upload my current version or if I can attach it here.

Regards,
Christian

BTW: John Bro contacted me and sent me some files with updates from him, however, I'm afraid, he did not received my response becaues of a really good spam filter, cutting everything off... ;-) So perhaps with this posts, we get it up again? ;-))

[heutger]

Current version with reserved space, WHOIS servers update from me and ArinNic update from gnoh

Hi Christian,

Thanks for the updates and the file upload, I will test out the changes against the other RIR's next week.

Hi,

yes, get this error also, I do not get any IP outputs any more. It suddently stopped from day to day. There seems also not to be any patch for this. Perhaps you have an idea?
