A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts
directories.

and
Above
Author(s) : Y. Arrouye

Pages : 6
Date : 03-Jul-01
This document describes how internationalized domain names (IDNs) are being
resolved in the Windows Internet Explorer (IE) Web browser version 5.0 and
above. The resolution that is described in this document is currently
available on a limited basis for an existing test bed. This document focuses
on the different steps that are taken after a user enters an IDN in the
address bar of IE, up to when the relevant Web page is displayed in the
user's browser.

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
