when inserting objects with <angle brackets> like this:

the query http://www.ripe.net/cgi-bin/whois?query=AS5427 will not display the data correctly:

import: from AS1270 action pref=100; accept AND NOT {0.0.0.0/0}

Thanks for spotting this - we've patched the CGI script to fix this problem. All HTML tags (meaning <, >, ", and &) have been escaped when filtered for the user.

also, AFAIR previously the http output made the 'ASxxx' strings as links to the objects which was very convenient. will we see that again?

Currently the web interface is a very simple script that adds markup tags to the output of the Whois server running on port 43. The RIPE NCC is currently working on a new version of the web-based query engine designed for improved ease of use. We'll make sure it adds links for queries on as many parts of the output as possible - ASxxx definately among them! -- Shane Kerr Database Software Engineer RIPE NCC
