[New-bugs-announce] [issue17305] IDNA2008 encoding missing

[Marten Lehmann]

New submission from Marten Lehmann:

Since Python 2.3 the idna encoding is available for Internationalized Domain Names. But the current encoding doesn't work according to the latest version of the spec.

There is a new IDNA2008 specification (RFCs 5890-5894). Although I'm not very deep into all the changes, I know that at least the nameprep has changed. For example, the German sharp S ('ß') isn't replaced by 'ss' any longer.

The attached file shows the difference between the expected translation and the actual translation.
