User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; pl-PL; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; pl-PL; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4

When a page is encoded in UTF16 or UTF32 and has a form on it.
When i fill in the data, and send it, the stuff that gets sent is corrupted.
For instance a field named 'author' gets sent as 'a'
Only the first byte of the first character is taken, the rest is ignored.
If it's in little endian then 'a' gets sent, if it's in big endian then nothing.

In the end the data sent looks like this
a=&b=&c= or even like this =&=&=

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Any page with a postable form in it, encoded in UTF16 or UTF32, byte order not
important
2.Post the form and Sniff the packets, or capture the sent data in other ways.


Actual Results:  
Sent data looked like this:
a=&n=

Expected Results:  
Sent data should look like this
author=value&name=othervalue
