I'm not really sure what kind of data is coming in? Is this something like a unicode filename in an upload?

Hi, Ian.

I'm getting an error
Module webob.multidict:314 in __getitem__ view
Module webob.multidict:299 in _decode_value view
Module encodings.utf_8:16 in decode view
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode characters in position 0-5: ordinal not in range(128)
with the `value` being u'\u0433\u043d\u0438\u043b\u0430\u044f.jpg'

In this file webob\multidict.py
I've noticed
   def _encode_value(self, value):
   # FIXME: should this do the FieldStorage stuff too?
   if isinstance(value, unicode):

   value = value.encode(self.encoding, self.errors)
   return value

What are the concerns behind this lines of code?

That clearly doesn't encode FieldStorage values and that's clear that it'll fail during decoding.
