bug#24117: 25.1; url-http-create-request: Multibyte text in HTTP request

It does not contain "∧" but it contains "\342\210\247".

That example was unnecessarily big. I should have provided a minimal one.

I don't see any non-ASCII characters in that string.  So how come it
causes the error message?

> The file contains a multibyte string "∧"

I don't see this character in the string you show.

> and anaconda-mode converts it to "\342\210\247".

Which is a correct UTF-8 encoding of that character, and should
produce a unibyte string.

To summarize, I still don't understand how come the error happened.
Could you perhaps step with Edebug into url-http-create-request, and
see what is going on there?  Or come up with a reproducible recipe of
calling url-http-create-request that I could examine on my machine?

Thanks.
