Bug #71114
closedInternational character in domain records
0%
Description
There is a regression in domain record handling where records with international characters are silently converted into pure ascii ( eg. å -> aa )
This causes havok when upgrading a older installation say 4.5 LTS to 6.2 LTS;
The 4.5 version might have 3 domain records like;
paa.dk
på.dk -> paa.dk
xn--p-2fa.dk -> paa.dk
This works perfectly fine in 4.5, in 6.2 how ever it will result in a infinite redirect from paa.dk to paa.dk.
we only discovered the cause of this bug because we editied the top record ( paa.dk ) and it suddenly had a 0 at the end, which is what happens when you have duplicate records - only inspecting the database revealed this to not be the case.
Since paa.dk & på.dk are seperate domains this has to be concidered a bug ( på.dk & xn--p-2fa.dk are the same url in theory but some servers treat them differently ). It's easy to immagine wanting to use the international character url for localized content and the other for international, this is not currently possible.
