Tony Finch 6f4d88df9f A lot of the cleverness in whois is no longer needed! ... The IANA whois server has the right referral information for domain names, IP addresses, and AS numbers, so whois does not need to be able to choose servers itself (except for a few cases where referrals do not work). We can delete a chunk of code, which is always fun. This change improves the referral handling to be less sensitive to all the various formats, and to allow multi-hop referral chains, such as IANA -> registry -> registrar. ARIN queries have the "+" flag added if no flags are present, so we get full details if the query matches multiple objects. The Verisign anti-spam logic is also now suppressed if the user provided a non- trivial query string. Uninformative rubric is now trimmed by default. The -S option turns off trimming, and disables query fettling. The -i option is back to its traditional pre-1999 hostname, since whois.internic.net is more useful than whois.networksolutions.com. Note that the old fallback/default server whois.crsnic.net is an alias for whois.internic.net. The manual is more informative about query syntax.		2016-01-23 00:28:18 +00:00
