Issue #17214: Percent-encode non-ASCII bytes in redirect targets
Some servers send Location header fields with non-ASCII bytes, but "http.
client" requires the request target to be ASCII-encodable, otherwise a
UnicodeEncodeError is raised. Based on patch by Christian Heimes.
Python 2 does not suffer any problem because it allows non-ASCII bytes in the
HTTP request target.
