SignatureDoesNotMatch error on certain save calls - SOLVED

[chrisfinne]

When putting attributes that have UTF-8 chars in them, it will
sometimes fail with a Aws::AwsError: SignatureDoesNotMatch error

the "sometimes" is when the length of the URL being sent to AWS is >
2000, the AWS gem conveniently switches to an HTTP POST.

in right_awsbase.rb line # 398

request['Content-Type'] = 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'
should be:
request['Content-Type'] = 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded;
charset=utf-8'

this was PAINFUL to debug and I'm guessing Amazon's fault for not
documenting this?

Wow, you may have solved an age old bug if this really works. I've put your fix into the code, any chance you write a test case for this?

I'm not sure how to run tests for a gem, so i wrote some tests that prove out the patch in my application. Here's the gist of those tests rewritten in a format similar to the gem's unit tests...
