Hi,

If you are using Firefox as a browser, I strongly recommend that you get an add-on like LiveHttpHeaders. That will show you *exactly* what your browser is sending to the server as HTTP headers with each request.

I should have read this earlier;) Meanwhile I've investigated the same but using wireshark...:)

Nevermind the result is that this is plain wrong done on the Firefox side (see this link for the current state in Firefox: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=436033).

E.g. in Opera it works without any problems -- I don't know whether they use utf8 as a hardcoded choice or they detect encoding from locale or from any other setting, but it works there. In Konqueror it doesn't work too.

I've not done any further research across other browsers, but the main result is that using non-latin1 (or maybe even non-ASCII) characters is completely unreliable and probably mostly unsupported on the browser side, which is really sad :(

Thank you all for your responses,
Milos
