[issue17497] Unicode support for HTTP headers in http.client

2013-03-20 Thread R. David Murray
R. David Murray added the comment: My understanding is that iso-8859-1 is the standard, and really means "binary". Turning it into unicode happens later. See the WSGI PEPs for more information. -- nosy: +r.david.murray resolution: -> invalid stage: -> committed/rejected status: open

[issue17497] Unicode support for HTTP headers in http.client

2013-03-20 Thread Matt Tierney
New submission from Matt Tierney: Changed the headers string charset to utf-8 since a header field may contain non-iso-8859-1 characters. For instance, a Location header field may contain Cyrillic characters. -- components: Library (Lib) files: tierney.patch keywords: patch messages: 1
