They can be parsed equally well as bytes or latin1, and best only transcoded after parsing. Doing cookie_value.decode(app_encoding) or cookie_value.encode('ISO-8859-1').decode(app_encoding) isn't terribly different. And cookies aren't fair because they are just stupid; like the standard library I don't think we should design anything around their idiosyncrasies. -- Ian Bicking | http://blog.ianbicking.org
