is_ascii_encoded

Tests if hostname contains segments with an ASCII-compatible encoding of an Internationalized Domain Name.

If this returns true, you should decode the hostname with to_unicode before displaying it to the user.

Note that a hostname might contain a mix of encoded and unencoded segments, and so it is possible for is_non_ascii and is_ascii_encoded to both return true for a name.

Parameters:

hostname

a hostname

Returns:

true if hostname contains any ASCII-encoded segments.
