I have an Internationalized Domain Name (IDN) pointing to my website. It resolves without problem when the native characters are entered into the URL, but upon website load, the URL is turned into punycode.
I'm using Firefox.
Is this an Apache configuration issue, a Name Server issue, or something else?
Unicode URL turns into punycode upon website load

Hey Feyd
Here are a couple of examples. This won't work if you're using IE6. IDN will resolve correctly in IE7.
Hope you're using Firefox!

Strange... I just noticed that when I mouse over the top URL, it displays as native characters, but when I mouse over the second URL it displays as punycode...
