[Bug]: URL encoded using ISO/IEC 8859-1 charset on Mac

[ccmaymay]

What happened?

On Mac OS X (15.2; M1): I tried to run a basic GET request, no parameters, custom headings, etc., but with é in the URL. In the CLI (3.2.4; installed via homebrew), and in the browser (Safari), é gets UTF-8-encoded to %C3%A9 as expected. However, in the desktop app, it gets encoded to %E9, which is the encoding under ISO/IEC 8859-1.

I have confirmed that this is not an issue on the server side; that was my original assumption. If I run curl on the same URL but with the é replaced with %C3%A9 (and the space in the URL replaced with %20), the server decodes the URL successfully and I see a é in the server log instead of %E9.

Steps to reproduce?

1. Execute request in the desktop app with `é` in URL
2. On the web server logs, see that the `é` has been replaced with `%E9`

What did you expect to happen?

I expected the encodings to match, at least between the desktop app and Safari if not between the desktop app and the CLI, and I also expected the (default) encoding to be UTF-8. If nothing else, I would expect there to be a way to change the encoding in the desktop app.
