Description Simon Ask Ulsnes 2004-01-20 11:10:56 UTC
Version:            (using KDE Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources
Compiler:          gcc (GCC) 3.3.2 20031218 (Gentoo Linux 3.3.2-r5, propolice-3.3-7)
 
OS:          Linux

Topdomains containing the Danish and Norwegian characters æ, ø, and å are not supported in Konqueror (while they are in Mozilla(Firebird), Opera and IE with a plugin). Per February 1st, these domains go live, but some already exist, like http://www.korsør.dk/.

When typing in the above in Konqueror, it pops up a message box showing this:

[dialog]
Malformed URL

http://
[/dialog]

This should probably be corrected before 3.2 goes live.

Do you have libidn correctly installed?

> Do you have libidn correctly installed?

There is no such library in on my system, and it's not in the Portage tree. If it's part of KDE, I have it.

Anyways, can anyone else than me please confirm this?

Same Problem here with german special chracters like äöüß
I installed libidnkit1 (the only mandrake 10 cooker rpm that could be the right one), but its still not working...

Same problem here. It looks like international domain names are not supported like they are in Mozilla. This should absolutely get fixed before KDE 3.2 ships.

IDN support is in kdelibs. kmail needs a small fix though

for gentoo there exists some bugs for an libidn ebuild
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=41001
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=41514

be sure to install a 0.2.x version of the lib (as kde-3.2.0 is not compatible with libidn-0.3.x)

i think http://www.korsør.dk/ redirects to http://www.korsoer.dk/ (thats what i get here)

another test site: 
http://räksmörgås.josefsson.org/

i guess, this can be closed now

i can confirm that kde-3.2.1 works with libidn-0.3.7

this is a distro bug
