pastebinit crashed with UnicodeEncodeError in quote(): 'utf-8' codec can't encode characters in position 340-342: surrogates not allowed

[Julian Andres Klode]

I can't pastebin http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/qFfThVFChK/ via stdin, only as a file... seen that on a lot of inputs. pastebinit should probably just use bytes and avoid redecoding stuff?

Worked fine for me with http://paste.debian.net/1019662/

Maybe specific to paste.ubuntu.com?

[Rolf Leggewie (r0lf)]

I fail to reproduce this for paste.ubuntu.com as well

[Rolf Leggewie (r0lf)]

That being said, I was able to verify bug 1760310 which I believe simply has a better test case but otherwise is claiming the same problem.

Surprisingly enough, I can paste this one via stdin now as well, how odd.
