It is also possible, as a temporary solution, to insert a link to our server which every day mirrors the RIPE-DB and creates the wais indexes. > > - WWW/HTML/HTTP functionality in the DB-SW package and the whois-server > and whois-client > > That's from my point of view part of the item to include/provide > means to register URLs (in some way or another) in the DB objects. > But registering the URL strings itself is not a major problem (we > could use a remarks field for that porpose as an interim > measure - look at spt1-ripe :-), > but the *access* to the objects by way of an http or whois > interface is!
