Re: [opensuse] Internet domain names with international characters (idn)

Hi Carlos,

interesting... I can access the site on Firefox 2.x in OpenSuSE 10.2 but I get other codes back:

martin@styx:~> host www.ñandú.cl
Host www.\195\177and\195\186.cl not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)

martin@styx:~> echo $LANG
en_US.UTF-8

...is UTF-8 buggy? :o)

Anyway, as for your question... I don't thing host or ping or dig are buggy; they just don't know how to handle these international characters, I guess...

YMMV

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.
