No - when it contains the bytecode for the euro, does it have to be sent as-is
or translated to €? That's what I meant.

The charset is determined by the Content-Type HTTP header and if not available,
by the default set in the user prefs.

You say 'see' - I say 'get'. There's a fundamental difference.
I prefer __not__ to view logs through a browser as I'm never sure, if it's
displaying it correctly. Think, gzip encoding, charsets, buggy HTML escaping,
partial content, through buffering, etc.

Which is exactly why there should remain an option to get unescaped data.
