Hi all,
I've completed a preliminary version of the code, available here: http://bitbucket.org/Demiurge11/patch/changeset/7719b580ce83/ IS_URL basically works just like it did before, except that now you can optionally input a unicode string instead of a regular string. If you input a unicode URL, then in the return value the unicode will get converted into a US-ASCII equivalent according to RFC 3490. e.g. http://北京.cn/ Will become something like this (please note that this is not the correct encoding for the above characters... I haven't figured out an easy way yet to learn which unicode code matches a particular character): http://xn--ob0bk18e.com/ IS_URL has additional functionality for allowing unicode in the path or query parts of the URL. I couldn't find any RFC that covered this, though, so I'm assuming that it's a de facto standard set down by websites like Wikipedia and/or web browsers like Firefox e.g. The URL: http://sr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Никола_Тесла will be converted to: http://sr.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%9D%D0%B8%D0%BA%D0%BE%D0%BB%D0%B0_%D0%A2%D0%B5%D1%81%D0%BB%D0%B0 There might be some serious bugs hidden in the new code, but all of the old tests are passing. Hence, if you want to try out the unicode features please go ahead--it should not break your old code. I am going on vacation for 3 weeks. When I get back I will finish the testing and submit the patch to the official web2py build. I will check out this thread again, so please feel free to submit bug reports here and I'll address them when I get back.
