I tried to conver the domain: http://pfeffermühle.com to a correct IDN Domain in Punycode form. I used vb.net and php, but both results are not correct.
VB.net:
Dim idn As New System.Globalization.IdnMapping()
Dim punyCode As String = idn.GetAscii(http://pfeffermühle.com)
RESULT: punyCode= xn--http://pfeffermhle-06b.com
PHP:
echo idn_to_ascii('http://pfeffermühle.com');
RESULT: xn--http://pfeffermhle-06b.com
But correct result is: http://xn--pfeffermhle-0hb.com
You can check it here:

What is the problem?
Please help.
Thanks
Remove the "http://" from the string, its not part of the domainname, it is the used protocoll.
VB.NET
Dim idn As New System.Globalization.IdnMapping()
Dim punyCode As String = idn.GetAscii("pfeffermühle.com")
Console.WriteLine(punyCode)
Console.WriteLine("http://" & idn.GetUnicode(punyCode))
Result:
xn--pfeffermhle-0hb.com
http://pfeffermühle.com
PHP from @memme
$s1 = "hTtps://pfeffermühle.com";;
$s = trim($s1);
if (idn_to_ascii($s) <> $s)
{
if (substr(strtolower($s) , 0, 7) === "http://")
{
$s = "http://" . idn_to_ascii(substr($s, 7, strlen($s) - 7));
}
elseif (substr(strtolower($s) , 0, 8) === "https://")
{
$s = "https://" . idn_to_ascii(substr($s, 8, strlen($s) - 8));
}
}
echo $s . "<br />" . idn_to_ascii($s1);
