But what the end-user is going to do if he had to use a site that violates the domain name standards? I mean, sometimes domain names will violate the RFC not because someone doesn't care about standards, but doesn't know about them. Moreover, I think that this isn't important. The most important thing is that users using Ubuntu will have the chance to view those sites the use illegal domain names.
I, personally, need to find a Windows computer every week in order to surf that site. When I reported this bug in here, I also asked in the Google Groups forum about this error. They (not Google employees) said that the only solution is contact the group owner and ask him to change group's name. However, I don't have any contact with the owner, and therefore I am stuck. The thread: http://groups.google.com/group/Is-Something- Broken/browse_thread/thread/136f15515ced25ca/d069bb3bbb986cd2?lnk=gst&q=hyphen#d069bb3bbb986cd2 I have to say that I feel some frustration, since the Firefox developers don't want to fix this, neither don't the Linux developers, and it seems that the Ubuntu developers have the same opinion. -- Address not found when entering a sub-domain with hyphen at the end https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/301838 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
