submit_query() can be slow on large queries

Due to request_url() in dshelpers logging response.text, and the KS endpoint not specifying charset in its Content-Type response header.

I've posted a message to the Newsreader mailing list to ask if they can fix it on their end.

Hacky workaround for now is to just add the line response.encoding = 'utf-8' to dshelpers before the response.text is logged; more robust fix could be added to dshelpers should they not be able to fix it.

Fixed on their end; no longer an issue.
