Description Miroslav Suchý 2011-03-08 19:59:58 UTC 
http://www.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-30oct09-en.htm

From article: "The coming introduction of non-Latin characters represents the biggest technical change to the Internet since it was created four decades ago," said ICANN chairman Peter Dengate Thrush. "Right now Internet address endings are limited to Latin characters – A to Z. But the Fast Track Process is the first step in bringing the 100,000 characters of the languages of the world online for domain names."

Requirements

Client tools need to make sure that all host names are in Pune encoding before sending to rhnParent. Client tools should accept non latin domains as entry (eg. serverURL) and encode it to Pune, before connect() or before it is send to rhnParent.

We will store host names in DB in Pune encoding.

We will have to go through WebUI and anytime we present hostname (SDC, device info, monitoring...) we will decode Pune string to UTF-8.

We will modify JavaDoc for API calls and whenever hostname is used, we will note that we accept/return hostname in Pune encoding.
