-> me

nhotta: is this required for mozilla 1.4?

Comment 2

[nhottanscp]

The decode is also needed for showing HREF link with raw ACE in status bar.
HREF link may contain raw ACE in order to work with non-IDN browsers.

Perhaps, we have to call IsACE at

Comment 4

[Darin Fisher]

Yeah, maybe.  Although I think we definitely want to make nsStandardURL smart
enough to automatically make this conversion as part of its URI normalization
process.

[Christian :Biesinger (don't email me, ping me on IRC)]

is this fixed by bug bug 237819?

Comment 6

[Darin Fisher]

not quite.  in some cases, fixing this bug means that we need to remember to use
the value of nsIURI::host instead of nsIURI::asciiHost.  remember that bug you
fixed for the status bar just recently?  :-)

that said, this bug certainly depends on bug 237819.

This may be fixed (or wontfixed) by bug 320807.
In bug 320807, we stop to use |unEscapeURIForUI| if the string has host name.

"Copy Link Location" on the URL link at top of this bug gives me http://日本語.jp/ which looks "possible" as a decoding result.

Reporter (nshottanscp) and/or Masayuki Nakano (Mozilla Japan), I don't know Japanese, so:
- is the above result the desired one?
- do you still experience this bug on a current build of Firefox 3 or SeaMonkey 2?
If your answers are yes and no (respectively), I suppose this bug could be resolved WORKSFORME.
