On my personal website <https://256-32.com/>, Dillo reports the following bug in
a link that uses special characters:
HTML warning: line 64, URL has 8 illegal bytes in {00-1F, 7F-FF} range ('/computers/důvěřivý').

However, the HTTP response sent by my server specifies charset=utf-8 in the
content type. These UTF-8 links work properly in Dillo, despite the bug message,
and I believe my site is not in error here. <validator.w3.org> says my site is
fine, so it seems there's nothing wrong with special characters in URLs.

It doesn't report the same bytes outside of a link href as being bad.

The error message seems to originate from src/html.cc:196.
