Thanks!

There's only one flaw here: it doesn't work! :-)

I try this:

        $ ./src/curl -v https://sourceforge.net/

Exactly, since we now support IDN, the 'dispname' is the pointer to the name
as given in the URL, while the 'name' is the (possibly ACE-encoded) name that
is used when talking to to name resolvers.
