Hey,
maybe lynx package should be a requirement of the whois package...?
$ whois ubiquity.io [Querying http://www.io.io/cgi-bin/whois] [HTTP: Unable to run web browser: /usr/bin/lynx: No such file or directory]
Thx,
JD

A few of the whois endpoints seem to be doing this now, I'm not sure if thats really just an artistic extension of the whois proto; if I run who's it should return data rather than run a browser to point me at a webpage ( btw, you can set the BROWSER env var to send this elsewhere, other than lynx )

It does not use the BROWSER env var It seems hardcoded in /etc/jwhois.conf There is the choice of lynx or w3m... But I agree that for a cmdline whois request, there's no point dumping a text web page with useless links...
