Subject: [ruby-core:113690] [Ruby master Feature#19697] Resolv::DNS resolution for international domains fails with "Encoding::CompatibilityError: incompatible character encodings: UTF-8 and ASCII-8BIT"

Issue #19697 has been updated by byroot (Jean Boussier).





> FWIW I've touched on the potential feature request in the stdlib uri library which was not further discussed



That issue started as mentioning the removal of URI.escape, which probably prevented it from getting more attention.



I think there is potential for a feature request for IDN support in either URI or Resolv, but IMO a new clean feature request should be started, with a proposed API.

Feature #19697: Resolv::DNS resolution for international domains fails with "Encoding::CompatibilityError: incompatible character encodings: UTF-8 and ASCII-8BIT"

i try to resolve a registered international domain, and instead of receiving DNS records, get an `incompatible character encodings` error:



```

i also tried this command in 3.3.0-preview1 and 2.1.4, receiving the same error. the expected response is to get DNS records for `������.������` (or any registered international domain). `dig ������.������` does indeed return a short but valid DNS record.
