Binary package hint: wget

wget does not support IDN domains:

$ LC_ALL=C wget 'http://www.köln.de/'
 --23:49:06-- http://www.k%C3%B6ln.de/
 => `index.html'
 Resolving http://www.k\303\266ln.de... failed: Name or service not known.

Translating the URL to IDN (xn--kln-sna.de) manually works.

Maybe its possible to use GNU libidn http://www.gnu.org/software/libidn/
