Hi,

PingTool.py converts 8 bit characters to &#xxx; entities and send ping
to local community server . But if document encoding of PyCS was
UTF-8, web browsers fail to display UTF-8 entities.

There are many ping servers and some server allows 8bit characers.

I need a new config parameter for ping servers which indicates that
server requires to convert 8 bit characters into entities or not.
