Jeremy Hylton <jer...@alum.mit.edu> added the comment: Ok. Discovered that RFC 2616 says that iso-8859-1 is the default charset, so I will use that to encode strings instead of ascii. If you want utf-8, you could encode the string yourself before calling request(). Presumably, you should also add a content-type that explains the charset. I'll clarified this in the docs.
