[issue5314] http client error

[Jeremy Hylton]

Jeremy Hylton <jeremy at alum.mit.edu> added the comment:

The documentation is pretty vague on this point.  If you send something
other than plain ascii, it gets a bit tricky to figure out what other
headers need to be added.  It would be safer for the client to pick an
encoding (e.g. utf-8) and encode the string before calling request(). 
It affects the content-length and presumably also the content-type.
