• 0e176756 (#3586 by @cpruijsen) Fix fetch throwing a TypeError when a response header value contains non-ASCII bytes (e.g. a UTF-8 encoded Content-Disposition filename). Header values are now treated as byte strings like in a browser: response header values are decoded as ISO-8859-1 so the raw bytes are preserved as a valid ByteString for new Headers(), and request header values are sent as their raw bytes (one byte per character) instead of being UTF-8 encoded. A request header value with a character such as é is now sent as the single byte 0xE9, as browsers do.
