Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 264610

(Core :: Networking, defect)

Description

[Dan Faerch]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050225 Firefox/1.0.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050225 Firefox/1.0.1

Upon checking out the new "IDN shown as punycode" thingie in 1.0.1 i entered a
few random IDN names. 
All i tested were converted to punycode except:
vildtopdræt.dk

as far as i can tell, the domain redirects ("Location:") to
"http://web.sonofon.dk/22229428/Oegrd-vldt.htm", however the location bar doesnt
change AND keeps the "un-encoded" IDN visible.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
enter vildtopdræt.dk and hit return ;)


Actual Results:  
location bar doesnt change

Expected Results:  
Shown "http://web.sonofon.dk/22229428/Oegrd-vldt.htm" in url.

Well.. I can see the IDN special-char isnt necessarily shown correctly.
In HTML domain would be "vildtopdræt.dk"

Over to Darin and core networking...

If I click on the URL link above I see the punycode form in the address bar,
then the URL is replaced on redirect with the sonofon.dk URL in comment 0.

If I copy the URL and paste it into the location bar it doesn't change. If I hit
escape then I get the right URL.

This is a domain guessing bug (see bug 264610 comment 11). If I enter
http://www.vildtopdræt.dk the location bar is updated correctly: nothing to do
with IDN at all.
