Error returned for unknown DBIP-ASN-Lite mmdb file about geoip2-golang

[oschwald]

The reader doesn't panic. The panic is coming from your panic(err) call. The error is returned as the reader doesn't know about this database type. Assuming the database is similar to the MaxMind GeoLite2 ASN database, it could likely be added to that case in the switch statement:

geoip2-golang/reader.go

Line 276 in 4641e77

case "GeoLite2-ASN":

Seems be this bug mapping from https://github.com/oschwald/maxminddb-golang

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"log"
	"net"

	mmdb "github.com/oschwald/maxminddb-golang"
)

func main() {

	mmdbASN, err := mmdb.Open("dbip-asn.mmdb")
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}
	ipParsed := net.ParseIP("1.1.1.1")
	var record interface{}
	err = mmdbASN.Lookup(ipParsed, &record)
	if err != nil {
		log.Panic(err)
	}
	fmt.Printf("%v", record)

	return
}

Output:

map[autonomous_system_number:13335 autonomous_system_organization:Cloudflare, Inc.]

fmt.Println(db.Metadata.DatabaseType)
// DBIP-ASN-Lite (compat=GeoLite2-ASN)

I think it's better using regex/match instead of switch. MaxMind is db structure and database information might be different if you build your own database.

database_type         => 'My-Special-ASN-List-InOurCompany (compat=GeoLite2-ASN)',
