| augeus | Can I speak? Or do I need to register first? | 13:03 |

| augeus | OK. Looks like I can speak. Can somebody help me fill in the blanks in this bug? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1771109 | 13:03 |
| ubot5 | Ubuntu bug 1771109 in Ubuntu "Domain names containing emoji characters are not supported in console applications" [Undecided,New] | 13:03 |
| augeus | So, it's been a long time since I last reported an ubuntu bug, and I don't really remember the process. | 20:22 |
| teward | `ubuntu-bug PACKAGE` on the terminal | 20:22 |
| augeus | Can somebody check my bug report and tell me whether it's alright? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1771109 | 20:22 |
| ubot5 | Ubuntu bug 1771109 in libidn2-0 (Ubuntu) "Domain names containing emoji characters are not supported in console applications" [Undecided,New] | 20:22 |
| teward | without the backticks | 20:22 |
| teward | augeus: that looks like a curl bug/error, it might not be the library but something that's not configured properly. | 20:23 |
| augeus | teward, I see! However, I get the same error when using telnet/ssh/other apps | 20:24 |
| teward | that's because emoji aren't valid IDNs | 20:24 |
| teward | so this is a blog post that touches on it, a little... https://daniel.haxx.se/blog/2015/02/24/curl-smiley-urls-and-libc/ | 20:24 |
| augeus | However, they seem to exist, and firefox accepts them without complaining | 20:24 |
| teward | not saying that's not true, but it may requires some 'fun' to work properly. | 20:25 |
| * augeus bought an emoji domain for novelty's sake, then found out this | 20:25 | |
| teward | I think this is more of a spec problem for IDN | 20:25 |
| teward | IDN allowed some emojis, then a later RFC disallowed it | 20:25 |
| teward | so depending on IDN spec emojis may or may not be valid | 20:25 |
| * augeus knows.. I did my googling | 20:25 | |
| augeus | I believe that the proper behavior should be looking the domain up, and returning a warning | 20:25 |
| teward | augeus: the question is how it's translated, which sounds like a resolver / glib issue, but i'm not confident in that | 20:26 |
| augeus | So, is it a bug or a feature? | 20:26 |
| augeus | I get that it's not standard, but such domains exist, and can be bought | 20:26 |
| teward | augeus: not discounting, but keep in mind 'new' specs come up and libraries aren't always up-to-date with latest spec | 20:27 |
| teward | My two cents: THis is neither a feature nor a bug, and is more a case of an undefined spec. | 20:27 |
| teward | so therefore in some cases it's a bug, and in some cases it's a feature. | 20:27 |
| augeus | I see.. So, how should I report this? | 20:27 |
| teward | I think this is a "Leave the bug, and let the devs figure it out" type situation. | 20:27 |
| teward | augeus: the way you did seems fine, but I think it's going to be an 'open ended' discussion to trace it | 20:27 |
| teward | just my two cents | 20:28 |
| augeus | I'm fairly tired, just came back home, so forgive me if I cannot parse properly | 20:28 |
| teward | nah you're fine. I've been staring at email server logs all day so I'm in the same boat :P | 20:28 |
| augeus | I see. :) | 20:28 |
| augeus | So, should I add something to my bug report to increase my chances of getting a response? | 20:29 |
| augeus | Anyway, thanks for your time, teward - Good luck with your troubleshooting | 21:12 |
