[Web-SIG] Unicode in Python 3

[Armin Ronacher]

Hi,

Another observation from the HTTP server that comes with the Python 3
Standard Library: it does not support non-ASCII headers:

    def send_header(self, keyword, value):
        """Send a MIME header."""
        if self.request_version != 'HTTP/0.9':
            self.wfile.write(("%s: %s\r\n" %
              (keyword, value)).encode('ASCII', 'strict'))

Here an implementation that shows how ridiculous a byte based
implementation on top of BaseHTTPServer currently is:
