Question: Should ARIN automatically redirect user Whois queries made<br>
via "http" to "https"?<br></blockquote><div class="gmail_quote"><br></div>No, ARIN should not automatically redirect Whois queries made via "http" to "https". Insecure Whois queries made via "http", need to be allowed. Maybe a warning could be provided, with a link to direct the whois query to "https".</div><div class="gmail_quote"><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
