Hello Sungjin,

As far as I recall, there's no special facility for IRIs
(internationalized URIs, a separate RFC from 3986) in uri-generic.
uri-generic is the underlying egg which actually handles all the
parsing, uri-common just adds some convenience procedures for
HTTP and URI-encoded forms.  Maybe you can take a look at the
uri-geneirc library, and verify it really is going wrong there already?

If it doesn't work, some test cases would be appreciated.  We can have
a look at them and see where it's failing.  I'm unsure whether this
really should be supported by the uri-generic egg or whether it would
be better to create an "iri-generic" egg, or some such.

Perhaps Ivan can chime in?  He is the one who originally ported the
code from a Haskell library, and might know whether that library had
any known problems with IRIs (if it's even IRIs we're talking about!)

Cheers,
Peter
