GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 741294
AMAZON.FR url starts search instead of going to amazon.fr
Last modified: 2018-02-11 20:00:37 UTC
Probably the ".FR" TLD isn't recognised, and a search is started instead of going to AMAZON.fr (which would resolve to amazon.fr).
Why would we expect this to work? AMAZON.COM also starts a search.
Eh, Firefox converts the TLD to lowercase, so I guess there's no harm in doing so.
Isn't this a duplicate of bug #757248? Or is the request here to convert the TLD to lowercase before attempting to load the page?
No, it's not really a duplicate but the solution of bug #757248 will fix it anyway.
If you say it's fixed by bug #757248, let's mark it as a duplicate. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 757248 ***

No, it's that it shouldn't do a search when I enter a hostname: $ nslookup AMAZON.FR Server: 192.168.0.1 Address: 192.168.0.1#53 Non-authoritative answer: Name: AMAZON.FR Address: 52.95.120.39 Name: AMAZON.FR Address: 52.95.116.113 Name: AMAZON.FR Address: 54.239.33.91 $ nslookup amazon.fr Server: 192.168.0.1 Address: 192.168.0.1#53 Non-authoritative answer: Name: amazon.fr Address: 54.239.33.91 Name: amazon.fr Address: 52.95.120.39 Name: amazon.fr Address: 52.95.116.113
