[DBWG] whois historic queries

[Yang Yu]

Hi,

I am trying to find the history on unallocated 196/8 prefixes in DFZ
(if someone want to share the story about them?)
https://bgp.he.net/report/bogons#_bogonsv4pfx

It was mentioned afrinic whois supported RIPE style historic query
flags https://www.ripe.net/manage-ips-and-asns/db/support/documentation/ripe-database-documentation/types-of-queries/16-12-historical-queries
but I can't seem to get it to work

Is this still supported?

Thanks.
