[opensuse] Internet domain names with international characters (idn)
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, In Spain domain names with international characters ('á', 'à', 'é', 'è', 'í', 'ì', 'ó', 'ò', 'ú', 'ü', 'ñ', 'Ç' y 'l·l') have been enabled since yesterday (<http://www.elmundo.es/navegante/2007/10/01/tecnologia/1191262954.html>) There is a sample web in Chile: <http://www.ñandú.cl/>, and it works fine in Firefox in OpenSuse 10.2. However, it doesn't work for commands like "host", "dig" or "ping": In an xterm using UTF-8: cer@nimrodel:~> host www.ñandú.cl Host www.\195\177and\195\186.cl not found: 3(NXDOMAIN) In an xterm using en_US.ISO-8859-1: cer@nimrodel:~> host www.ñandú.cl Host www.\241and\250.cl not found: 3(NXDOMAIN) Is 'host' buggy? I haven't tried suse 10.3 yet. - -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.76 iD8DBQFHA2gEtTMYHG2NR9URAnjhAJ95G3qkojYDlVWPqABCtOgdGi8MxQCfWjgE 7hTmUOAi1sRJkE1fenD3KSk= =0LGu -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

heh, dont tell me about it. before starting to work at SUSE , I worked for a hosting company here in CHile that wanted to impl'ement this "thing", so far looking it from the commercial and technical point of view people decided to not implement this stuff at all (at least for some years, very small demand, problems with software support, not profitable enough :P)

You need to encode it in an ASCII compatible form. see also http://cr.yp.to/djbdns/idn.html -- "You don't have to burn books to destroy a culture.
