Sebb created VALIDATOR-356:
------------------------------
Summary: IDN.toASCII drops trailing dot in Java 6 & 7
Key: VALIDATOR-356
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VALIDATOR-356
Project: Commons Validator
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Sebb
The Java 6 method {{String java.net.IDN.toASCII(String)}} drops the final input
character if it is a dot (or equivalent, see RFC3490 3.1 1)
This causes problems for authority and domain validation.
This problem has been seen in
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_65-b14-462-11M4609)
and
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_65-b17)
but appears to be fixed in
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_25-b17)
Note also that the Java 8 version throws
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Empty label is not a legal name
if the argument contains two consecutive dots.
Fix to follow.
