Re: IDN in fred? Howto

Torkil: The string with accented utf8 characters is a U-Label. You have to translate it to an A-Label (also called punycode) which is a string starting with "xn--" and followed by only valis DNS valid characters (English letters, digits and hyphens). You can check how it works on https://www.punycoder.com/ (just found it googling). Fred will accept xn--mund-4na.fo (which is the punycode for ámund.fo <http://xn--mund-4na.fo>). I guess there are idn libraries for most languages so you can translate back and forth. --- Mariano Absatz Enviado desde mi Aifon On Dec 30, 2016 9:21 PM, "Torkil Zachariassen" &lt;simbulu(a)gmail.com&gt; wrote: On 30 Dec 2016 23:02, "Jaromir Talir" &lt;jaromir.talir(a)nic.cz&gt; wrote: What exactly are the requirements? Well, our board really wants to allow people to register names with faroese accidentals - described previously. The customer problem is, that while some names like ámund.joensen.fo <http://xn--mund-4na.joensen.fo> work perfectly for our customers, names like joensen.ámund.fo <http://joensen.xn--mund-4na.fo> do not, because of the 'á'. The ultimative test would be an acceptance of registering the name 'áýúíóæøåðÁÝÚÍÓÆØÅÐ.fo'. This is to be understood as a string of UTF8 chars, which is equivalent to any upper/lower case combination of the same UTF8 chars. In our case, any other non-ASCII chars of UTF8 should be rejected .... I suppose that we as a ccTLD are authorized to decide on which chars are acceptable :-) A short explanation might be that we need to expand the ASCII characters just a few bits, pr. ccTLD.
