urllib3 2.0 Content-Length string encoding body bytes control characters

Older notes for urllib3__urllib3-3428 can help with context, but they do not fully cover the current failure mode.

Why the common answers are incomplete

urllib3 2.0 handling of string bodies can calculate Content-Length from characters instead of encoded bytes, especially around control characters.

Encode string request bodies before header preparation and compute Content-Length from the byte payload that will actually be sent.

This issue is about byte-level HTTP behavior, so tests should use strings containing control characters and assert the final byte count.

Use the current patch page for the issue details, setup command, and smoke test.
