[issue17305] IDNA2008 encoding missing

[Derek Wilson]

Derek Wilson added the comment:

It is worth noting that the do exist some domains that have been registered in the past that work with IDNA2003 but not IDNA2008.

There definitely needs to be IDNA2008 support, for my use case I need to attempt IDNA2008 and then fall back to IDNA2003.

When support for IDNA2008 is added, please retain support for IDNA2003.

I would say that ideally there would be a codec that could handle both - attempt to use IDNA2008 and on error fallback to idna2003. I realize this isn't "official" but it would certainly be useful.
