Description Nalin Dahyabhai 2004-04-21 18:21:55 EDT

See http://www.gnu.org/software/libidn/, apparently a prerequisite for
#117706.

Comment 1 Bill Nottingham 2004-04-21 18:28:11 EDT

Gah, that patch that gets the encoding within jwhois just looks *wrong*.

Aside from that, interesting. I'd be curious to see the libc authors
opinions on integrating that into libc for getaddrinfo()

Comment 2 Robert Scheck 2004-07-11 17:43:01 EDT

IDN support is integrated (using Simon Josefsson's GNU libidn) to
glibc 2.3.3 - FC2/3 already have working IDN support (tested).

The package "libidn" is in Fedora Development also available.

Bill, I know that this encoding hack is just wrong, it's removed now
and the patch is updated, because DENIC allows querying for ace domains 
also, yet :-)

Closing as fixed in rawhide.
