Hi (Sven),

Zinc can’t currently handle unicode domain names (e.g. http://üni.ch 
<http://xn--ni-wka.ch/>). Are there any plans to implement punycode / IDNA 
conversion for Zinc? Or is there an explicit reason not to support it? I see 
that #parseHostPort: expects the host portion to be percent escaped, what is 
the use case for this? I have never seen a percent escaped host portion. 
Usually the host portion is either pure ASCII, unicode or punycode (in my 
experience at least).

Just curious, as I just added IDNA conversion to one of our applications (I 
just let python perform the conversion: 
https://docs.python.org/2/library/codecs.html#module-encodings.idna 
<https://docs.python.org/2/library/codecs.html#module-encodings.idna>).

Cheers,
Max
