Internationalized domain names
October 01, 2010 10:25PM

From HTMLPurifier/AttrDef/URI/Host.php:

        // This breaks I18N domain names, but we don't have proper IRI support,
        // so force users to insert Punycode. If there's complaining we'll
        // try to fix things into an international friendly form.

Consider this an official complaint. :)

Grumble now I have to find a punycode encoding algorithm...

You may blame tinyarro.ws for this. :)

Anyway, looks like the PEAR package is the go-to package, but there is also code in Zend Framework’s Zend_Validate_Hostname and Zend_Uri code that might be useful too.

Upon closer consideration, maybe I'll just make my domain name regex sufficiently clever to deal with IDNs and not bother attempting to convert everything to Punycode.

No... that's bad because we've made a commitment to URIs, not IRIs, and mumble legacy clients mumble. But there's no convincing PHP punycode implementations (the PEAR one's test suite is half failures... I refuse to use that). So this will have to block on a convincing Punycode implementation dropping into my lap... one that is coded in PHP5 style... is LGPL... and has a real test suite...

Unfortunately, I am indefinitely tabling this bug. Patches or sponsorship accepted, but I currently have zero motivation to work on this feature request. Sorry :-( Users needing a workaround can directly paste punycoded links.
