Research direction

Start by reviewing the wsgiref documentation and the historical issue16679-1.diff attachment, then check how the current documentation describes PATH_INFO. Confirm what advice about non-ASCII paths remains accurate for supported Python versions; done means the guidance is added in the appropriate documentation location and rendered correctly.
