[issue7093] xmlrpclib.ServerProxy() doesn't support unicode uri

[STINNER Victor]

STINNER Victor  added the comment:

Well, it was trivial to workaround this bug in my application (convert host to 
bytes using explicit host = str(host)). Python3 doesn't have this issue and 
Python 2.7 is released, I prefer to close this bug as wont fix.

[issue7093] xmlrpclib.ServerProxy() doesn't support unicode uri

STINNER Victor  added the comment:

Hum, it looks that the issue is not on ServerProxy.__host, but on
ServerProxy.__handler. That's why my test uses "http://host:port/RPC2"; instead
of "http://host:port";. In the second case, the handler is set to the default 
value:
"/RPC2" which is str (and not unicode).

[issue7093] xmlrpclib.ServerProxy() doesn't support unicode uri

[STINNER Victor]

New submission from STINNER Victor :

I backported xmlrpclib from Python trunk to Python 2.5 to get "connected
socket" (HTTP/1.1), which implies to backport also httplib, ssl and socket. It
works well. It's *much* faster, eg. 960 ms => 70 ms with HTTPS over a VPN.

I just have a little issue: if ServerProxy() URI is an unicode string and an
argument is an unicode string (with at least one non-ASCII character), the
request fails with:

  File ".../SVN/python-trunk/Lib/httplib.py", line 784, in _send_output
msg += message_body
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xe9 in position 320:
ordinal not in range(128)

Attached patch includes a test.

Can uri contains a login and/or pasword? If yes, should it be encoded to UTF-8
(instead of ASCII)?
