Package: wget
Version: 1.10.2-2
Severity: normal

wget doesn't handle IDN domains (domains with umlauts) right.

$ wget -ct0 http://stefan.kögl.co.at/test.tar.gz

--16:07:15--  http://stefan.k%C3%B6gl.co.at/test.tar.gz
           => `test.tar.gz'
Resolving stefan.k\303\266gl.co.at... failed: Name or service not known.

When I manually "translate" the IDN domain name to the "xn--" format, 
it works.

GNU libidn seems to offer this functionality already, the URL is
http://www.gnu.org/software/libidn/

libidn is already in Debian, packaged as "libidn11" and "libidn11-dev".
