is XMLHTTP ok with special characters?

[R3D3]

I have a problem with XMLHTTP
It appears to be unable to handle 'special characters' such as french characters.
I've tried to specify various CharSets in the setRequestHeader "Content-Type" but it doesn't seem to make any difference.
I dont have the problem on every site I access but I do get the same problem/same sites when issuing the command from VB so I suspect it is an issue with the type of Site.
Any Ideas?

What is the actual problem? Getting the response to the address into a valriable, writing it to the screen, ?

I haven't seen this one before, Id be interested to see what kind of error it is having.

Take the following example...

sURL = "

http://www.guillec.com/listing.php?lang=fr&agence_id=612&for_sale

[]=&subtype[]=&min_prix=0&max_prix=10000000&type_prix=EUR&departement=83&surface=&ville=&room_type=piece&rooms[]=0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 &postcode=&arrondisiment=&offset=0"


set oText = Server.CreateObject("MSXML2.XMLHTTP&quot
oText.open "GET", sURL, False
oText.setRequestHeader "Content-Type", "text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"
oText.send
sText = oText.responseText

If you look in sText variable the words like

pièces,
m² ,
détails

are distorted.
I've tried speaking French to them but my french is worse than my programming

Merci
