url_decode: Decode URLs with ASCII punycode domains to Unicode

Description

Converts URLs containing ASCII punycode domain names back to their Unicode representation for display purposes. This function makes internationalized URLs human-readable.

Usage

url_decode(url, strict = getOption("punycoder.strict", TRUE))

Value

A character vector the same length as url, with each element containing the URL with its host portion decoded to Unicode. Only the domain component is transformed; scheme, path, query, and fragment are preserved. Elements corresponding to NA inputs are

NA_character_.

Arguments

url

Character vector of URLs with ASCII punycode domains

strict

Logical; whether to apply strict validation. Defaults to `getOption("punycoder.strict", TRUE)`.
