Description iago 2005-02-11 02:35:52 UTC

IDN support can't be disabled in many of the browsers used commonly in linux. I refer to Mozilla and Konqueror at least. IDN URIs can bring the user somewhere else from where he/she intended to go. As of writing, is available Mozilla Firefox (nightly build-1.0.1 version) from ftp. Guess if that's worth adding this new version to the repository.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.visit http://www.payp&#1072;l.com/
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
I see a page that teaches what a IDN Spoofing is. 

Expected Results:  
It depends on what you prefer. Supporting IDN or not. Do you believe in national
identities? Do you pay always attention to which link you're following?
