Now that java strings are mapped to python unicode objects modjy fills
the WSGI environ with many unicode objects. I'm far from being an expert
on WSGI, but from reading the PEP[1] looks like at least the all the
HTTP_* entries should be str objects. 

One thing that breaks with the current situations are cookies. See point

In the meantime, for django-jython I'll apply the following workaround
on application.py:

for key in environ:
  if key.startswith('HTTP_') and isinstance(environ[key], unicode):
    environ[key] = environ[key].encode('iso-8859-1')

You are, of course, correct Leo; CGI vars must be in either ISO-8859-1
or RFC 2047.

I will correct this in modjy straightaway.

However, I won't be checking in the updated version for a day or two;
there are some other features I want to look at adding.

OK, this is fixed in modjy version 0.25.2.

Checked into trunk at r6007.
