Right, well, I'm not actually sure that there's any multibyte *content*
in the cookie header. But somehow, without this patch, if there's an
UTF-8 payload, (string-bytes request) returns an extra byte for each
UTF-8 octet. I have no idea why that is; basically, what I would see was:

(string-bytes url-http-data) == (length url-http-data)

but

(string-bytes (substring request (* -1 (length (url-http-data))))) being
two bytes longer (for a single UTF-8 character in the payload).
