Bug 811202

Description of problem:
non-ascii chars is a problem for ovirt-engine-sdk.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
ovirt-engine-sdk-1.6.4-1.fc16.noarch

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.
# -*- encoding: utf-8 -*-
FUNNY_CHARS = "!@#$%^&*{}<>? <!-- ]]> <?PCDATA[[ <?CDATA[[ \" \"\'\" °ěščřžýáíéůü Việt Nam עִבְרִית"

    def test_funny_chars_in_PUT_xml_error(self):
        cl = APICKO.clusters.get(name="Default")
        cl.description = FUNNY_CHARS
        cl.update()
  
Actual results:
======================================================================
ERROR: test_funny_chars_in_PUT_xml_error (general_tests.MockedServerTests)

UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc2 in position 72: ordinal not in range(128)

if I change the funny chars to unicode string like this:
FUNNY_CHARS = u"!@#$%^&*{}<>? <!-- ]]> <?PCDATA[[ <?CDATA[[ \" \"\'\" °ěščřžýáíéůü Việt Nam עִבְרִית"
I'll get:

    """.format(FUNNY_CHARS)),
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode characters in position 50-61: ordinal not in range(128)

Expected results:
No problem to use unicode chars, because it seems to be accepted by other means - webadmin as well as WPF gui.
