IDN awareness
djw1149 opened this issue · 3 comments
Normally dnsdbq requires that -n or -r arguments are 7-bit ASCII clean. Non-ASCII values should be queried using PUNYCODE IDN encoding. The -8 option allows using arbitrary 8 bit values.
We would like to support IDNs on both input and output. This would allow specifying arbitrary 8 bit values (i.e. native character encodings) as command-line arguments or in batch files and outputting either the PUNYCODE or native character encodings.
Paul: you changed some relevant code in the multitype branch, maybe you want this issue?
i think IDN support would be beneficial, but i loathe adding more dependencies beyond libcurl and libjansson. i think this issue should remain open until that day, someday, when dnsdbq is put under autoconf/automake.
time expired.
