[New-bugs-announce] [issue41658] http.client not allowing non-ascii in headers

[Aliona Matveeva]

New submission from Aliona Matveeva <yellalena at gmail.com>:

http.client trying to decode any header with 'latin-1', which fails when there is any non-ascii symbols in it, for example, Cyrillic. 

I propose to check if it's non-ascii and then decode it with 'utf-8', works perfectly.
