I understand that, but I'm asking something like: if you type in •.com into
your browser, what's getting passed to the server behind the scenes?
The non encoded string (xn--...). It must be this way because the
HTTP protocol requires the header to be completely US-ASCII.
I would read that as 'the encoded' (into punycode) string, and not 'the
original' (aka the single unicode character) string, but that's just a
quibble. Thanks for taking the time to read the RFC for me :-)
It is best to think of punycode as just a browser adress bar display hack.
??? um, you just said it's the punycoded string that gets passed
through, because the Header element needs to be US-ASCII.
