ghostutils: Convert non-ASCII dots to '.' when converting hostnames (7.40 KB, patch)
2010-12-10 10:45 UTC, Dan Winship 		committed Details | Review

Description Carlos Garcia Campos 2010-10-28 13:52:17 UTC 
In rfc3490 section 3.1:

" Whenever dots are used as label separators, the following
      characters MUST be recognized as dots: U+002E (full stop), U+3002
      (ideographic full stop), U+FF0E (fullwidth full stop), U+FF61
      (halfwidth ideographic full stop)."

so, for example the url "www.foo\u3002bar.com" should be "www.foo.bar.com" not "www.xn--foobar-rr3e.com"

I've tried it with ICU and Qt and both work, see:

Can you see if the webkit tests pass with this patch?
Comment 2 Carlos Garcia Campos 2010-12-13 12:53:42 UTC 
Yes, it fixes the non-ASCII dots test case, thanks!
