Cool!

But I believe this works for you only because your DNS is very liberal. Try
mine:

$ curl www.tromsø.no -v
* getaddrinfo(3) failed for www.tromsø.no:80
* Couldn't resolve host 'www.tromsø.no'
* Closing connection #0

... (Curl_resolv() gets this 8bit name passed in and this will be used to the
resolver which indeed doesn't grok this, I also tried with 'www.hörby.se' but
with similar result.)

Your patch didn't define TRUE_HOSTNAME, so I added that define in urldata.h
where ace_hostname is declared.
