Subject: [arin-announce] Whois-RWS Released 17 July 2010

ARIN is pleased to announce the release of Whois-RWS.

ARIN's Whois RESTful Web Service (Whois-RWS) is the directory service 
for accessing registration data contained within ARIN's registration 
database. Whois-RWS provides several improvements over ARIN's previous 
Whois service. Whois-RWS can easily be integrated into command line 
scripts similar to Whois or RWhois, or it can be accessed with a web 
browser.

For those who rely on existing scripts and clients, ARIN will continue 
to maintain services for the NICNAME/WHOIS protocol on TCP/43. This is 
achieved by using a proxy service to translate traditional ARIN Whois 
queries into Whois-RWS queries.

Mark Kosters
