Glenn Linderman <v+pyt...@g.nevcal.com> added the comment: In my previous message I quoted Pierre rightly cautioning about headers containing non-ASCII... and that BytesFeedParser doesn't, so using it to parse headers may be questionable.
So I decided to try one... I show the Live HTTP headers below, from a simple upload form. What is not so simple is the filename of the file to be uploaded... it contains a couple non-ASCII characters... in fact, one of them is non-latin-1 also: "foöţ.html". It rather seems that Firefox provides the filename in UTF-8, although Live HTTP headers seems to have displayed it using Latin-1 on the screen! But in saving it to a file, it didn't write a BOM, and the byte sequence for the filename is definitely UTF-8, and pasted here to be viewed correctly. So my question: where does Firefox get its authority to encode the filename using UTF-8 ???
