[issue5314] http client error

[Jeremy Hylton]

Jeremy Hylton <jeremy at 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.
