Package: jwhois
Version: 4.0-2.1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: upstream

Dear Maintainer,
please file a request upstream to avoid following some redirections

I need this if I query, for example:

   jwhois 192.254.235.94

This brings up a poor page, which has no abuse contact information.
Arin is very careful about abuse contacts, and if one uses -n the
page includes OrgAbuseEmail.  However, routinely using -n skips
_all_ redirections, for example:

   jwhois -n 182.50.169.128

does not redirect to apnic, and one gets "OrgAbuseEmail:  search-
apnic-not-a...@apnic.net".  Perhaps, following whois redirections
only (not rwhois) would work in both cases?

Thank you for your attention
Alessandro
