• What is the current behavior?

Since the commit in 51c004a, committed in #39 and released as 5.8.0, cheroot no longer accepts non-ascii in the URI. Prior versions of CherryPy allowed this (under some conditions) and one of our key applications relies on that behavior.

• If the current behavior is a bug, please provide the steps to reproduce and if possible a screenshots and logs of the problem. If you can, show us your code.

I'll put together a test in the suite.

• What is the expected behavior?

cheroot should provide some mechanism to accept non-ascii in URIs.

• What is the motivation / use case for changing the behavior?

Existing applications still stuck on Python 2 require the ability to support these URIs.

• Please tell us about your environment:

• Python version: 2.7
• Cheroot version: 5.8.3
• CherryPy version: 11.x (if applicable)
• OS: macOS 10.13.1
• Browser: n/a

STR? Are you talking about quoted unicode in this issue?

Upon further review, and in light of #59, there's nothing to be done here. Clients should quote non-ascii characters in their URIs.
