All other browsers I have tested so far encode the domainname with punycode. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. go to the site: http://www.arsnavigandi-münchen.de 2. watch the output of javascript an flash Actual Results: www.arsnavigandi-münchen.de is displayed Expected Results: www.xn--arsnavigandi-mnchen-jbc.de should be displayed
Update: The real issue is that flash-player tries to load any asset as a video from the address http://www.arsnavigandi-m%FCnchen.de insted of the IDN-encoded URL.

Confirmed for: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:12.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/12.0 Another example: http://www.bäume-für-deutschland.de/ location.host is "www.bäume-für-deutschland.de" instead of "www.xn--bume-fr-deutschland-gwb32c.de". Flashplayer fails to load clips from this domain.

Confirmed for: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:17.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/17.0 example: http://gästehaus-kapellen-drusweiler.de/ window.location.host: gästehaus-kapellen-drusweiler.de clip loaded in flash reports url: http://gästehaus-kapellen-drusweiler.de/path-to-swf/container.swf The mistake in the URL is true. It appears that the a-umlaut is incorrectly encoded; perhaps the host name should be in punycode.
This is still an issue. We discovered this due to the newly introduced usage of window.location.host in Moodle. See https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-57092.
The problem with punycode still exists! Some WordPress plugins wont run on our site (https://bluetooth-kopfhörer-test.com/) because of this issue... One example is the plugin "heatmap", which wont work with Firefox but works perfeclty fine with other browsers. Can anyone tell when the bug will be fixed? I see that this was mentioned 9 years (!) ago for the first time.
