Article contents:== Outdated egg! This is an egg for CHICKEN 3, the unsupported old release. You're almost certainly looking for [[/eggref/4/idna|the CHICKEN 4 version of this egg]], if it exists. If it does not exist, there may be equivalent functionality provided by another egg; have a look at the [[https://wiki.call-cc.org/chicken-projects/egg-index-4.html|egg index]]. Otherwise, please consider porting this egg to the current version of CHICKEN. [[tags:eggs]] == IDNA [[toc:]] === Description An interface to Internationalizing Domain Names in Applications (IDNA). === Documentation The {{idna}} egg allows you to convert Internationalized Domain Names from Unicode to a restricted ASCII representation suitable for DNS, and vice versa. It uses [[http://www.gnu.org/software/libidn/|GNU libidn]] to do the conversion. The encoding and decoding mechanism used is [[http://wikipedia.org/wiki/Punycode|Punycode]], and the format of the resulting ASCII string is called ASCII Compatible Encoding (ACE). An ACE-format string is simply a Punycode string with a unique ACE prefix, {{xn--}}, prepended to distinguish it from regular ASCII. This extension assumes that input and output strings are UTF-8 encoded. ==== Conversion procedures '''procedure:''' (idna:nameprep str) Prepares {{str}} according to the Stringprep profile ''Nameprep''. In simpler terms, it performs processing on {{str}} such as lowercasing and other normalization, in order to increase interoperability with the DNS, and returns the result. '''procedure:''' (idna:to-ascii str) Convert UTF-8 domain name to ASCII string in ACE format. All ''labels'' (sections of a domain name, separated by dots) are converted. The ToASCII algorithm will apply ''NamePrep'' to an individual label before conversion if it detects any non-ASCII characters, but does not do so if the label is entirely ASCII. You may wish to pass the entire string through {{idna:nameprep}} beforehand in order to lowercase the pure-ASCII labels. An error will be signaled on certain fatal conditions (for example, if the result is too long for DNS, or if the input is non-ASCII yet already contains the ACE prefix). '''procedure:''' (idna:to-unicode str) Convert ASCII string, possibly in ACE format, to UTF-8. If decoding fails, the original string is returned. It is therefore safe to pass unencoded ASCII strings to this procedure. === Examples (idna:nameprep "WWW.Λ-CALCULUS.GOV") ; => "www.λ-calculus.gov" (idna:to-ascii "www.λ-calculus.gov") ; => "www.xn---calculus-k0g.gov" (idna:to-ascii "WWW.Λ-CALCULUS.GOV") ; => "WWW.xn---calculus-k0g.GOV" (idna:to-unicode "www.xn---calculus-k0g.gov") ; => "www.λ-calculus.gov" === About this egg ==== Author [[http://3e8.org/zb|Zbigniew]] ==== Version history ; 0.1 : Initial release ==== Requirements GNU libidn ==== License Copyright (c) 2007 Jim Ursetto.
