Patch for 210892

It looks like this is a side effect from a fix for a redirect bug. The fix =
was
introduced in commit 3389187e4b646b62f4754a92855389d967de816f (in the github
repo).

The original problem was whois didn't follow certain redirects correctly, a=
nd
wouldn't give accurate information (the U of M example).

There was a possible loop with APNIC however. The response from APNIC for t=
he
IP in this bug report would match the ERX-NETBLOCK, be redirected to ARIN,
which would then redirect back to APNIC.

I've proposed a patch which fixes the problem. But I'm not too familiar with
the intricacies of the whois system. The original author probably has much =
more
insight as to whether this solution is acceptable.
