The WSGI spec mangles the strings when they go into the environment. This
not only affects QUERY_STRING, PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME, it also affects
headers that are not latin1. This for instance applies to the HTTP_COOKIE
header. When you set a cookie named ``förmlich="nährhaft"`` with
JavaScript, Django will give you a mangled value.
The correct solution on Python 3 is to encode it back to latin1 and decode
it from utf-8 as browsers do.
