URL parsing of an invalid host has a defect #32

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
http://™%00/ mangles input. The input is considered invalid, but not echoed 
literally but rather first encoded as utf-8 and then converted back to code 
points using byte inflation rather than utf-8 decode.

abarth told me to file this here (I tested this in Chrome).

Your description sounds right to me. What do you expect it to be and why?

The result is not consistent with e.g. http://™%80/ and http://™%20/ or any 
other browser. (Still working on defining what I expect it to be in 
http://url.spec.whatwg.org/ but I thought I'd report this anyway.)

The behavior is very well-defined.

We first try to make the URL valid. This includes unescaping, etc. So first we 
would convert the %80 to 'P' for example. We then convert to punycode. We 
handle the case where the host is in escaped UTF-8. So e.g. 
"%ef%bc%85%ef%bc%94%ef%bc%91.com" becomes "a.com" because that escape sequence 
is a UTF-8 encoded full-width 'a'.

You can see the host canonicalization unit test examples here:
http://code.google.com/p/google-url/source/browse/trunk/src/url_canon_unittest.c
c
Search for "TEST(URLCanonTest, Host)"

We special-case space and a few characters for IE-compat like space. This is 
not an allowed hostname character so we canonicalize to an escaped %20.

™ is not a valid host character so I would expect it to be rejected. For 
invalid characters we encode them as UTF-8 and escape them to make an ASCII 
string, and mark the result invalid.

How can you convert %80 to 'P'? That makes no sense whatsoever. %80 is outside 
the ASCII range and not a valid utf-8 byte at that location.

™ gets turned into "tm" per IDNA2003 and into a Punycode string per IDNA2008. 
I'm not sure why you'd say it's invalid.

Re: %80 I looked up in the ASCII chart and got hex & dec confused. You're 
probably right about TM, hopefully ICU does that transform.
