About _decode_string(s, charset) in http_request.py

The function _decode_string(s, charset) in http_request.py improperly
assumes that iso-8859-1 is the default charset. But the HTTPRequest
class or an instance of that class can have a different default charset 
by changing the DEFAULT_CHARSET member variable.

Actually its not very clear what that function tries to do, it seems
that it will return a unciode object for any other charset, but it will
return a byte string if the charset is 'iso-8859-1'... this seems to be
very wrong...

Can someone with more knowledge explain what exactly should tihs
function perform???

In the meanwhile I'll remove the check for iso-8859-1 from
_decode_string so that it always returns a ".decode"-ed unicode object,
and see if something breaks.
