Hi,
I have trouble with my application due to special characters in the url string. I have an url like this: "filedownload.asp?url=files/definiëren/sample.doc"
U can see there's a "ë" in it. The diaeresis is common use in dutch language. When I request the sring("url") on the next page then I get this: "files/defini?ren/sample.doc". A question mark instead of the "ë".
How can I solve this? I tried with the urlencode method but then it gives me the "%3F" instead of the "ë" which is again the encoded stuff for a question mark.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks
