Comment(by nbachiyski):

 Most of the time we can use the UTF-8 representation of both the domain
 and the path. Only the headers impose an ASCII restriction, so we can run
 the domain through the punycode converter and urlencode the path.

 Have you found other places, where the UTF-8 representation causes
 problems?
