Re: [idn] UTF-8 / RACE

[D. J. Bernstein]

Apparently Adam has lost track of this thread.

The question was why, in http://cr.yp.to/proto/idn.html, I listed
gethostbyname() as something to be upgraded as part of the ACE solution.
This has nothing to do with the UTF-8 solution!

The answer is that ACE conversion has to happen somewhere between the
user's command lines and the DNS packets. Changing the gethostbyname()
code is easier than changing every program that uses gethostbyname().
