Fixed Default IP Information URL does not support IPv6

[Chris D]

Obviously a service issue, but just putting it "out there".

At the very least, it might be worth either detecting the type of address and not allowing that to be clickable if it's IPv6 or explaining in appropriate places that lookups on IPv6 addresses will not be successful.

Unless of course there is an alternative service out there that supports IPv6 lookups (I haven't found one yet).

It would be best to query the whois databases directly, rather than rely on an external service for whois information.

I use host and whois for my needs.

But, RIPE does have a pretty good API which searches the other databases as well:

I've tagged this as a service issue, but I will see if there are ways around it as suggested.

I've added a new IPv6 service provider option and will redirect there if an IP lookup request detects an IPv6 address.

Great work, thanks
