564240 - Add .рф (Unicode Russian Zone) to IDN whitelist

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core Graveyard :: Networking: Domain Lists, defect)

Description

[Peter Kasting]

According to http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/10100108.stm , ICANN has approved three new TLDs:

Egypt: مصر
Saudi Arabia: السعودية
United Arab Emirates: امارات

I'm not totally sure when domains will be available in these and who the registries managing them are.  If they're legit, we'll need to add them to the eTLD list.

OK, let's make this one be about Russia then, since the others are on file.

The Russians have already been in touch; they are putting their documentation together.

Hi, Gervase,

See in attachment IDN Table for TLD "РФ" (Domain xn--p1ai).
Relevant Policy Document URL: http://www.cctld.ru/en/docs/rulesrf.php

Best regards,

The table attached to the email I got basically said "Russian characters, western digits and hyphen only". And that restriction is repeated in sections 3.3.2.2 and 3.3.2.3 of the URL given above. There is a risk from ASCII/Russian mixing, but they are not permitting that. So this seems fine to me.

The issue is not fixed for HTTPS protocol for Russian (.РФ) domain.
When you go to some HTTPS site you can see the *.xn--p1ai domain name instead of *.рф. (I refer to blue 'secure' piece on the left of URL textbox)

That seems to have been fixed in 4.0b9pre, but I haven't found back the bug for it.

example : https://www.аэрофлот.рф/cms/

( their certificate is actually invalid, as it belongs to *.aeroflot.ru )
