1702812 - URLs containing Unicode are displayed as punycode

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(DevTools :: Console, defect, P3)

Description

[Sebastian Zartner [:sebo]]

URLs with Unicode domains are displayed using punycode in the console.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open the Console panel on a new tab
2. Enable the "Requests" filter so that network requests are displayed within the console
3. Go to https://www.flüge.de/

Expected result:
The website request should be displayed with the entered domain https://www.flüge.de/.

Actual result:
The domain is displayed in punycode, i.e. https://www.xn--flge-1ra.de/.

Attachment: Bug 1702812 - Encoded Unicode request URLs within the Console. r=jdescottes

The URLs of network requests containing Unicode characters are now displayed encoded within the Console. Previously, the domains were shown in punycode and the paths had a URL encoded representation.
This change makes their display consistent with the one within the Network Monitor.

Users can still see the punycode version of the domain at the top of the Headers view. And the encoded version of the URL parameters is displayed within the raw request headers view.

Backed out changeset 656d52ea68bb (Bug 1702812) for causing devtool failures in browser_webconsole_shows_reqs_from_netmonitor.js
Backout link: https://hg.mozilla.org/integration/autoland/rev/70a3de78a1703815c976fdfd83e0973822772cef
Push with failures, failure log.

This also caused a spike of appearances of Bug 1701422.
