feedgenerator shouldn't use ascii to decode dates

[alperkanat]

if i use some locale like tr_TR.UTF-8 or any other locale, a date for the rss feed could be "10 Ağu" instead of "10 Aug".. Therefore, I get the following error messages:

UnicodeDecodeError at /feeds/latest/
'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc4 in position 9: ordinal not in range(128)

I think all decoding should be done using utf-8 instead of ascii.. And by the way there's a problem in line 241 of feedgenerator.py file:

handler.addQuickElement(u"pubDate", rfc2822_date(itempubdate).decode('links'))

'links' here should be something like ascii or especially utf-8..

sorry the links part is my fault :)

How is this different from #8219 (which you also filed)?

Closing as a duplicate. Please reopen with an explanation of the difference if this is different from #8219.
