Title: #382: [Py3] ipa-server-install fixes (working NTP, DS, CA install steps)
tiran commented:
"""
Let's reiterate. It's obviously wrong to assume that request data such as JSON
are encoded as UTF-8. It can be just any encoding. Outside the Western world,
JSON and XML are often encoded as UTF-16.
That doesn't mean we have to support other encodings than UTF-8 right now. It's
fine to restrict requests and responses to UTF-8 as only supported encoding.
The check should be performed early in the WSGI layer. A client sends can send
the request type as part of the content type. The framework should check for
the presence of an encoding hint and refuse encodings that are
```encoding.lower() not in {'utf8', 'utf-8'}```.
