The application/whoispp-query Content-Type Status of this Memo This memo provides information for the Internet community. It does not specify an Internet standard of any kind. Distribution of this memo is unlimited. Copyright Notice Copyright (C) The Internet Society (2000). Abstract This document defines the expression of Whois++ protocol (RFC 1835) queries within MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) (RFC 2046) media types. The intention of this document, in conjunction with RFC 2958 is to enable MIME-enabled mail software, and other systems using Internet media types, to carry out Whois++ transactions. 1. MIME Registration Information To: iana@isi.edu Subject: Registration of MIME media type application/whoispp-query MIME Type name: MIME subtype name: Required parameters: Optional parameters: Application whoispp-query none none All Rights Reserved.

Encoding considerations: Any valid MIME encodings may be used Security considerations: This content-type contains purely descriptive information (i.e., no directives). There are security considerations with regards to the appropriateness (privacy) of information provided through the use of this content-type, and the authenticity of the information so-provided.

provides no native mechanisms for authentication. Published specification: this document

Person & email address to contact for further information: Leslie L. Daigle leslie@thinkingcat.com Intended usage: 2. whoispp-query Syntax The following grammar, which uses BNF-like notation as defined in [RFC2234] defines the set of acceptable input to a Whois++ server. As such, it describes the expected structure of a whoispp-query media type object. N.B.: As outlined in the ABNF definition, rule names and string literals are in the US-ASCII character set, and are case-insensitive. whois-command = ( system-command / terms [":" globalcnstrnts] ) nl "constraints" "polled-by" / "show" [1*sp bytestring] / / "describe" / "commands" / "polled-for" / "version" / "list" / bytestring] / "help" [1*sp "?"
