Something else is going on here. A valid server never returns an URL with non-ASCII chars. Your test server does the right thing, too:

I have digged through the code. Now I think that I know what's going on here. The header parsing code unquotes and converts the Location header. The code in the 302 handler doesn't compensate and therefore fails.

Here is a patch that corrects the code in the 302 function.
