Bug Description

In a pagetest, when I make the test browser open a URL that happens to be unicode (this is not always easy to see in the test code), it fails at a much later stage with "decoding Unicode is not supported"—in my case, deep in Zope while going through the form's POST parameters.

Having the "open" method check for this could save us some time. It could raise an error, but that might expose lots of harmless cases in existing tests. Or it could convert to str. Or maybe none of this will matter once we upgrade python. :)
