Necessary to add Disclaimer to the beginning of whois query response informing user of limitations on the whois data use (example from .se: https://who.is/whois/internet.se)

As whois db is read only and replicated from registry db the source should be kept in registry db -

  • add table to registry db
  • modify the postgresql db replication task for whois db
  • drop text version of whois data (generation and replication) - dependent on Use JSON data for response whois#25
  • regenerate whois db

Hey @vohmar, a couple questions:

  • Should the disclaimer be present only in UNIX/text based whois or both UNIX and JSON?
  • Can you update the following text with all the required legalese applicable to Estonia? I'm not very good with that, and it probably needs some reference to PDP act:
Estonia .ee Top Level Domain WHOIS server

by international conventions, including European Union regulations.

If any of the information below is transferred to a third
party, it must be done in its entirety.

  • disclaimer should be in both unix and rest whois output
  • current version of text:

Read more about the Rules of .ee WHOIS service here.

The disclaimer is added, but there's a slight problem with REST whois, at least locally. The disclaimer misaligns the whole text in HTML response. I can fix it in scope of internetee/rest-whois#37
