Description

[Nils Winter]

User-Agent:       
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; de-AT; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040113

since today it is possible to register .de-Domains with umlauts. Denic(the
german registrar) announced, that the first registered domain ist "öko.de".
So i opend it, to see, if it works with mozilla. And it worked. =) But the I
wanted to see the page source. But the source viewer showed an "Address not
found" errorpage(i am using the xul-Errorpages) and not the page-Source.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. open öko.de
2. RMB->"Show Page Source"

Actual Results:  
An errorpage was displayed

Expected Results:  
The source should be displayed

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:) Gecko/20040228

view-source:http://öko.de/ shows an empty source window, and a moment later an
Alert: could not be found. Please check the name and try again.

If I use view-source: on a nonexisting domain, like http://www.heisens.de,
I also get no name displayed: view-source:http://www.heisens.de

the tab of öko.de shows xn--ko-eka.de, and it seems to be the same domain:
http://xn--ko-eka.de/  is showing the same text,
view-source:http://xn--ko-eka.de/ is showing the source.
