this might be the wrong header to test because we delete the entire header?

I changed up this spec so that it doesn't use the Host header. Mind taking another look?

**Why**: Rack encodes headers into 8 bit ASCII which results in encoding compadibility errors futher down the stack when the app tries to manipulate them. This commit encodes the headers and replaces incompatible characters with `?` characters so the headers do not cause the app to respond with 500s.
