It shouldn't effect because URI doesn't include non ASCII character.
If you are talking about an existing implementation which sends Location header with non ASCII characters,
such talk should be on real research.

Feature #2567: Net::HTTP does not handle encoding correctly
http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/2567

Author: Ryan Sims
Status: Assigned
Priority: Low
Assignee: Yui NARUSE

ruby -v: ruby 1.9.1p376 (2009-12-07 revision 26041) [i686-linux]


=begin
 A string returned by an HTTP get does not have its encoding set appropriately with the charset field, nor does the content_type report the charset. Example code demonstrating incorrect behavior is below.
 
 #!/usr/bin/ruby -w
 # encoding: UTF-8
 
 require 'net/http'
 
 uri = URI.parse('http://www.hearya.com/feed/')
 result = Net::HTTP.start(uri.host, uri.port) {|http|
     http.get(uri.request_uri)
 }
 
 p result['content-type']     # "text/xml; charset=UTF-8" <- correct
 p result.content_type        # "text/xml" <- incorrect; truncates the charset field
 puts result.body.encoding    # ASCII-8BIT <- incorrect encoding, should be UTF-8
=end
