DevKnife Update 1.1.0

In version 1.1.0 of DevKnife, the Domain Whois tool was improved with support for RDAP (Registration Data Access Protocol).

For those unfamiliar:

• WHOIS is the old standard for looking up domain registration info. It works, but usually returns raw unstructured text that can be messy to read or parse.
• RDAP is the newer protocol designed to replace WHOIS. It returns structured data (JSON), which allows DevKnife to display the results in a much clearer, organized way.

When DevKnife was first released, the Domain Whois tool relied only on WHOIS and showed the raw server output. With this update, if the top-level domain (TLD) supports RDAP, DevKnife will now use RDAP and display the information in a structured format.

If RDAP isn’t supported for a given TLD yet, the tool will automatically fall back to WHOIS to make sure you still get the data you need.

This change makes the Domain Whois tool much easier to use and gives you a cleaner view of registration data.

Additionally, a small UI quirk was fixed in this update, correcting the padding around the IP Lookup tool’s input field.
