1118522 - domains with two trailing dots (e.g. 'example.com..') are somehow navigable

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Networking, defect, P5)

Description

[Dana Keeler (she/her) (use needinfo) [:keeler] (on leave)]

STR: navigate to 'example.com..' (i.e., not a valid DNS name)
Expected results: an invalid domain name error, or automatically re-writing the domain to 'example.com' or 'example.com.'
Actual results: the navigation succeeds (although the site itself returns a 400)
