Could you provide a reference for this? Whenever I dig into the HTTP
specification, I end up having to read all over it to find things like
this. I seem to recall that:

1. I've located this information in the past
2. The real answer was that HTTP headers format inherits from SMTP
3. SMTP requires pure ASCII headers
4. The request line ("GET /whatever HTTP/[version]") does not count
~   as a header

Unfortunately, I can't find my references and so my assertions are
pretty much worthless. :(

I find it more useful to set URIEncoding="UTF-8" in the <Connector>,
since the page encoding and URI encoding are not guaranteed to be the
same. The OP should look to see what works best and feels more natural
in his environment.
