26204	"URLValidator does not accept TLDs with ""-""s"	Luke Faraone	nobody	"Forwarded from:
http://bugs.debian.org/814372

Previous versions of Django allowed for ""-""s in the rightmost component of a hostname. This was tightened in a previous release. While the [https://github.com/django/django/commit/bc98bc56a52860688ea0ae2ec7b9e59ddb72a811 case for punycode domains was fixed], there's no technical reason to disallow them in any part of a hostname component except for at the beginning or end. 

That is to say: http://ubuntu-mirror.my-tld/ubuntu is flagged as an invalid URL, even though the DNS has an IP for it, and apt happily upgrades from the archive mirror that is there."	Bug	new	Uncategorized	1.8	Normal		regression		Unreviewed	0	0	0	0	0	0
