The ELisp manual says:

     Some language environments modify the case conversions of ASCII
  characters; for example, in the Turkish language environment, the ASCII
  capital I is downcased into a Turkish dotless i (‘ı’).  This can
  interfere with code that requires ordinary ASCII case conversion, such
  as implementations of ASCII-based network protocols.  In that case, use
  the ‘with-case-table’ macro with the variable ASCII-CASE-TABLE, which
  stores the unmodified case table for the ASCII character set.

I guess we need to use this around forms that implement network
protocols.  At least this doesn't seem to help:

 M-: (with-case-table ascii-case-table (eww "https://www.google.com.tr")) RET
