For example, suppose we want to provoke the server into using a filename of "f i a n c e-acute e" (i.e. f i a n c U+00E9 e). The UTF-8 encoding of this is 0x66 0x69 0x61 0x6e 0x63 0xc3 0xa9 0x65 (or "fianc\\xC3\\xA9e", as python's ``repr()`` function would show).

The response header will need to indicate a non-ASCII filename. The actual mechanism to do this is not clear. For ASCII filenames, the response header
