[ckan-dev] Mysterious bugfix in webstore-client

[Tim McNamara]

How did you debug this/identify the problem? Would be good to know the
original data & request made.

Of your proposed causes, I would say it's likely to be 1 or 4. I expect 1 is
the cause, as  encoding issues between UTF-8 characters and bytes can be
tricky (http://bugs.python.org/issue11082).
