title: Maxmind Geoip city encoding issue
body: <p>When configuring Max Mind with Nginx (using something like <code>proxy_set_header GEOIP_CITY $geoip_city;</code>), I get encoding issues with the city name when it has accents in it (like Montréal).</p>
  
  <p>I’ve search everywhere and I can’t find an nginx switch to force utf-8 encoding. What am I missing?</p>
  
  <p>I tried to <code>city.force_encoding('iso-8859-1').encode('utf-8')</code> on ruby's side, but no dice.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
