Research direction
Start at the Tools -> WHOIS screen and trace its domain-name validation and lookup entry point. Check how the current lookup displays results, then define completion as accepting IPv4 and IPv6 input, querying the appropriate RIR/RDAP service, and showing allocation, organization, and abuse information.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
Currently the WHOIS GUI only accepts domain names. Entering an IP address (e.g. 83.65.246.198) shows “Enter a valid Domain Name”, so IP WHOIS lookups are not possible.
Expected behavior
- Accept IPv4/IPv6 as valid input
- If input is an IP, perform a network/RIR lookup (RIPE/ARIN/APNIC/etc.), preferably via RDAP, and show allocation info (netblock/org/abuse)
Steps to reproduce
- Open Tools -> WHOIS
- Enter 83.65.246.198
- Error: “Enter a valid Domain Name”
