Node.js 4.2.0 encoding problems

[ghost]

I made a request to vkontakte.ru api to send notification to user with Russian language text.
Notification was sent with text: "Denis ?@8a;0 B515 315"

My code works fine with Node 0.10.38, 0.12.7

@lucky-libora Could you share an example code to reproduce the issue?
You could remove the url and all the sensitive data.

Is this related to #962 and #1693? Are you sure it runs correctly on 4.1.2?

@Fishrock123 yep, you are right. It is related bug and doesn't work correctly on Node 4.1.2

@lucky-libora please provide a test case.

[trevnorris]

@seishun Send a non latin-1 character as a header to a node server then inspect the header. It's one-byte decoded and will show up as gibberish.

[seishun]

@trevnorris it seems it's not the problem described in the issue. @lucky-libora is sending a request, not receiving one.

[trevnorris]

In certain cases outgoing writes will be interpreted as binary, instead of utf8. there's an inconsistency that hasn't been addresses. Probably the cause of this.

No activity, no testcase.
Looks like a duplicate of either #1693 or #2114.
