Hi,
I don't actually know of any git hosting that lives on a non-ascii
domain and with non-ascii parts in the path, but I nevertheless gave it
a shot because I was wondering how a conversion of git-cinnabar to
python 3 should handle them.
Multiple problems arose when trying `git clone https://テスト.com`:
- with NO_GETTEXT set, setlocale is never called, and when curl calls
libidn for conversion of the domain name, it fails with
"Failed to convert テスト.com to ACE; could not convert string to
UTF-8" because, while the string *is* UTF-8, it thinks it's ASCII and
wants to convert it somehow.
Calling setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "") before the curl request happens fixes
this. It feels like git_setup_gettext in the NO_GETTEXT case should
take care of this.
- On Windows with a Japanese locale, it fails with the same error.
Earlier versions of git failed with a different error message. I
suspect 090d1e84771bb4a310e3fe8291ec71b0ddb03d4f is involved in the
change in error message but I'm not sure. Anyways, I think the problem
here is that what git gets as input from the command line is not UTF-8,
and curl fails to convert it however it tries to. However, for
non-ascii path parts, it seems a conversion to UTF-8 happens correctly
at some stage, so I'm not entirely sure. That is,
`git clone http://localhost:8000/テスト` does send a UTF-8 テスト to
the HTTP server (which, interestingly, is not what
`curl http://localhost:8000/テスト` does).
I'm happy to look at fixing the NO_GETTEXT unix part, but I'm not
equipped to build git for windows the way it's shipped to look at it
there.
Mike
