in thread Untaint IP address/hostname question

remember that umlauts (äöüÄÖÜ) are valid for german url´s (.de) since 01.March.
i don´t think Regexp::Common covers that.

    Regexp::Common covers what's in RFC 2396 and RFC 2626 when it comes to HTTP URIs. If those RFC's are superseeded, I'd be interested in hearing about them.

      It's RFC3490, Internationalizing Domain Names in Applications (IDNA).
[reply]
      Internationalized Domain Names adds a mechanism to encode non-ASCII characters in the allowed characters for domain names. The question is should Regexp::Common match the encoded or non-encoded domain names. I would say that the RE should not be changed and the higher level code needs to do the translation.

      just look for "Internationalized Domain Names" in your favorite internet search engine.
      i´m too lazy to look for rfc´s right now.
