Description Klaus Singvogel 2006-02-13 08:56:09 UTC 
I tried to download from a German Umlaut-Domain, and noticed that wget is not capable to translate the domain into a Punycode encoding, and therefore the download failed.

Example:
   wget http://www.gunnar-gröbel.de/assets/images/Verkehr/239.gif
should be converted (internaly) to:
   wget http://www.xn--gunnar-grbel-djb.de/assets/images/Verkehr/239.gif

Please note: konqueror and mozilla can display 'http://www.gunnar-gröbel.de/assets/images/Verkehr/239.gif'

For more information about Punycode look at http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3492.txt or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punycode

I'd like to see wget being able to handle large files btw ;)
