I have a situation where I am reading data that I have no control over and inserting it into a db. The data is http headers. I am storing them in postgres db in a text field and the db encoding is SQL_ASCII. Since the data can be anything even non compliant http headers with anything for its values I don't want to modify the data before I store it in the db. However this is causing issues with certain values causing the UnicodeDecodeError. For example I have a specific case where the user agent is set to 'KC\xd4\xda\xcf\xdf\xc9\xfd\xbc\xb6'. I have been trying to look for a way to deal with these cases gracefully in the models __unicode__ method but nothing I have tried has worked.
