Here is a patch for httplib encoding HTTP headers to ISO-8859-1, as done in Python 3 (see HTTPConnection.putheader() from http.client). urllib is not affected by this issue because it does already encode Unicode, but encode to ASCII instead of ISO-8859-1.

description:

To match the behaviour of HTTP server, the HTTP client library now also encodes headers with iso-8859-1 (latin1) encoding.  It was already doing that for incoming headers which makes this behaviour now consistent in both incoming and outgoing direction.
