Description: According to CIRA (Canadian domain registry), it must be possible to use accented characters in domain names. It is actually impossible to enter an accented character in LibreOffice. ref:https://www.cira.ca/fr/domaines-ca/enregistrez-votre-nom-de-domaine-ca/domains-french-accented-characters/ Steps to Reproduce: 1.école.ca 2. 3. Actual Results: <blank> (rejected) Expected Results: école.ca Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: https://www.cira.ca/fr/domaines-ca/enregistrez-votre-nom-de-domaine-ca/domains-french-accented-characters/
please provide more details : https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/BugReport#Good_reports the steps to reproduce, what is "rejected", ... Note: https://cirâ.ca/ or école.ca do not exist. an existing example would be nice.
In 2012, CIRA introduced support for the full range of French characters in .CA domain names. https://www.cira.ca/en/ca-domains/register-your-ca/domains-french-accented-characters/ https://www.icann.org/en/icann-acronyms-and-terms?page=1&search=idn But people refrain using it, becaue many softwares do not accept them. For example, Firefox with DuckDuckGo search engine; if you enter "école.ca" in search bar, DuckDuckGo will not consider it is a valid URL and will treat is as a search phrase. If you enter "ecole,ca" as the search bar, DuckDuckGo will give it to Firefox to be interpreted as a URL. Sameway, if I enter "http://www.école.ca" into LO writer, it will not recognize it as a valid URL and will not enter the URL in hyperlink attribute. To add confusion, it I enter "québec.ca" into Firefox address bar, it will be automatically replaced by "quebec.ca" (drop of the accent), What a mess! For all these reasons, people do not create domain names with accents but would like it. That's why I cannot provide an existing domain name with accented characters. Many probably exist but I don't know any.
Update: it's worse than I thought. I found an existing website with an accented domain name: "québec.ca". If I enter "http://québec.ca" in a LO text, the hyperlink is not recognized and the hyperlink attribute is not set. But it's worse with Firefox. If I enter "québec.ca" in Firefox address bar, Firefox will immediately substitute "quebec.ca", removing the accent. But "québec.ca" is a real domain name and, thus, it is an unreachable site thru Firefox. Conclusion: it is a very confusing situation. LO is problematic but Firefox and DuckDuckGo are also problematic. Chromium (Version 136) has the same problem. Konqueror (version 23) has the same problem. So I suspect the problem may be in a common library.
let's try to be specify. (In reply to gallard from comment #2) > ...

Marking 169119 as a duplicate of 65999 does not RESOLVE the problem. Libreoffice consider that "www.québec.ca" is an invalid URL but it's officially valid according to CIRA rules. Validating after normalization may be a solution but it's not perfect. Validating thru an online DNS server may be a better solution but it will not work if user if offline. I consider the problem is still UNRESOLVED.
(In reply to gallard from comment #5) > Libreoffice consider that "www.québec.ca" is an invalid URL where is that written? an error message? see #Good_reports mentionned earlier. > Validating after normalization may be a solution but it's not perfect. > Validating thru an online DNS server may be a better solution but it will > not work if user if offline. IMHO, sounds just totally out of scope of Office apps to DNS what a user writes; next steps would be to make sure a URL is responsive ? > I consider the problem is still UNRESOLVED. would be nice to *also (ad mostly) consider* what process the community tries to work with : https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/Bugzilla/Fields/Status but of course, you free not to contribute.
http://québec.ca and http://www.quebec.ca are 2 URL identifying the same domain. The first is the real (official) one and the second is automatically created by CIRA to solve the problem of softwares doing "normalization". If I enter the second in LO Writer, I can see that LO automatically underline it, confirming it is a hyperlink. But if I enter the first, it will not automatically underline, suggesting the URL syntax is not valid. To solve the problem, LO should validate after normalization.
