RE: [idn] Bulk UTF-8 / punycode Tool

Hi Georg,

One method available is to use VeriSign's IDN SDK. The SDK is an open source effort which implements the latest RFC documents. The SDK offers a suite of command-line tools for UNIX-based systems as well as Windows. VeriSign has also set up a mailing list where SDK users can discuss implementation issues.

The latest IDN SDK from VeriSign can be found here:

http://www.verisign.com/nds/naming/idn/sdk_download.html

Instructions for joining the mailing list can be found here:

If you are still reluctant, I'd be happy to run a one-time conversion for you. VeriSign's IDN SDK makes it pretty easy for me. Once I know what you need, it should only take me a few minutes to run the conversion.

Thanks again for your interest Georg. I hope the SDK is helpful to you,

-- John

Hello Friends,

do you know an online tool or better windows programm yet to automatically convert multiple strings containing german umlauts (UTF-8) into punycode at once? Would be very appreciated :-)
