Subject: 26.0.50; The network security manager doesn't understand IDNA domains
Date: Mon, 24 Apr 2017 05:13:28 +0200
If you type `M-x eww RET https://аррӏе.com RET', the NSM will then say:

"certificate host doesn't match hostname"

That's an IDNA domain that expands to https://www.xn--80ak6aa92e.com/,
which does have a valid certificate, so this is a bug.

If instead say `M-x eww RET https://www.xn--80ak6aa92e.com/ RET' you get
no warnings.
