If you click on the RSS-icon, which should show the RSS-feed it get's the URL wrong. 


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. http://xn--strbe-mva.de/
2. Klick on the Feed-Icon in the navigation-bar.

Actual Results:  
FF tries to open http://www.str%c3%bcbe.de/feed/

Expected Results:  
FF should open http://xn--strbe-mva.de/feed/

Looks like there is some problem with IDN-handling. Probably isn't too hard to fix. :-)

Not currently, I have a bunch of beta priority work to do. Feel free to take it if you want. I took this a while back when I though I'd have time.

Problem still exists.

Adding RSS feed by filling IRI into address bar works. But adding feed via "Subsrcibe to this page" provides error message complaing on wrong URL (IDN is not punycoded, it's just URL escaped).

Yes, it looks like they all depend / dup bug 309671

The same problem in version 3.5.2 with xn-schnppchenletter-ynb.de (Schnäppchenletter.de)

After klicking the Rss icon the Url in the Adressbar is right:
"http://www.schnäppchenletter.de/rss_all.php"

but

Error -> Server "www.schn%c3%a4ppchenletter.de" not found

I can't reproduce this issue anymore. We've since changed our IDN handling, did that resolve this?
