[issue5314] http client error

[Jeremy Hylton]

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

I'm not sure what to do here.  I guess changing to utf-8 is safe insofar
as the current code only accepts ascii, so the only code that breaks
will be code that depends on the encode() call raising an exception.  It
seems like the client out to specify the encoding, though.  We could fix
that via documentation.
