Comment 1 for bug 1678018

I'm having trouble duplicating this bug for replicated objects.

In my tests the handling of the object name and metadata in the object server is being treated consistently as utf-8 encoded bytes - not unicode strings.

object-6010: STDOUT: 'Content-Type': 'application/octet-stream'
object-6010: STDOUT: 'ETag': 'd41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e'
object-6010: STDOUT: 'X-Object-Meta-Mtime': '1490985870.469097'
object-6010: STDOUT: 'X-Object-Meta-\xe2\x98\x83': '\xe2\x98\x83'
object-6010: STDOUT: 'X-Timestamp': '1490987405.84984'

On master, the EC reconstructor seems to blow up in an entirely different spot:

object-6030: STDERR: 'policy': policy,
object-6030: STDERR: UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xe2 in position 20: ordinal not in range(128)

I'm creating objects from the command line using u'\N{SNOWMAN}' in the name & metadata
