Description Robert Scheck 2008-09-07 11:55:07 UTC

Description of problem:
host(1) is unable to handle IDN domains on non-UTF8 terminals, see below:

$ echo $LANG
de_DE@euro
$

$ host dänic.de
dÃ¤nic.de has address 81.90.194.14
Host dÃ¤nic.de not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)
Host dÃ¤nic.de not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)
$

As it seems, the recoding from UTF-8 -> ISO-8859-1 is missing somewhere
which also causes the NXDOMAIN errors then. Once the character "ä" gets
"Ã¤", it's UTF-8 on a non-UTF8 terminal, so the recoding is broken - as
far as I can remember, this ever was case since IDN support in host(1)
is enabled now. Can we please get rid of this before F10? :)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
bind-utils-9.5.1-0.5.b1

How reproducible:
Everytime, see above.

Actual results:
host(1) is unable to handle IDN domains on non-UTF8 terminals.

Expected results:
Working handling of IDN domains on UTF-8 and non-UTF8 terminals.

Could you please test if http://kojiweb.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=827912 works as expected? Thanks

Comment 2 Robert Scheck 2008-09-16 19:00:39 UTC

Yes, now it works for me as expected:

$ echo $LANG
de_DE@euro
$

$ host dänic.de
dänic.de has address 81.90.194.14
$

Can we please get this fix into Fedora and also into upstream?
