Methods
This is the ToUnicode operation as specified in the IDNA proposal, with an additional step to encode the result in UTF-8. It takes an ACE-encoded hostname and performs ToUnicode to it, then encodes the resulting string into UTF8.
Normalizes and converts a host to UTF-8 if the host is in the IDN whitelist, otherwise converts it to ACE. This is useful for display purposes and to ensure an encoding consistent with nsIURI::GetHost(). If the result is ASCII or ACE encoded, |isASCII| will be true.
Prepares the input hostname according to IDNA ToASCII operation, the input hostname is assumed to be UTF8-encoded.
