As I mentioned in the PR Alessandro opened[*]: libcurl doesn't assume anything
on the input string really, other than it being a C string. Since the string
comes from the application, in some cases from the tool curl, the encoding is
probable locale dependent.

I figure that means that on most "normal" operating systems and environments
that means UTF-8. But on Windows for example, I don't think it'll be as
common.

Or am I wrong?
