Hi all

Most of our domain registrations come from customers who speak german or french. Therefore people often use umlauts or other non-ASCII characters in their address data even though we clearly state that you shouldn't do that. We use the Reseller Client Library 2.8.6.

What happens is that the customer gets an error like this:

Domain: example.com Registration attempt failed: Invalid data.
Non-ASCII character s< .t permitted in owner address1.
Non-ASCII character s< .t permitted in billing address1.
Non-ASCII character s< .t permitted in admin address1.

That wouldn't be that bad. It would be nicer if it somehow could show the actually entered character and not some something mangled. The overview screen before the customer finally submits the order shows all characters as entered.

What's more annoying is the fact that the domain registration shows up in the RWI even though the customer got an error and we don't get an email about the registration request as we normally do.

Are there any quick remedies? I don't have much time hacking perl code at the moment.

Yours

Arthur van Dorp
