[13:03] <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]
[20:22] <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
[20:23] <teward> augeus: that looks like a curl bug/error, it might not be the library but something that's not configured properly.
[20:24] <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
[20:25] <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
[20:26] <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
[20:27] <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
[20:28] <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. :)
[20:29] <augeus> So, should I add something to my bug report to increase my chances of getting a response?
[21:12] <augeus> Anyway, thanks for your time, teward - Good luck with your troubleshooting
