Subject: Danish Characters in Ruby Uri

Hi,

There would appear to be a deficiency in the common.rb
URI module of uri when processing non-standard
characters 

e.g.

c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/uri/common.rb:432:in `split': bad
URI(is not URI?): http://
fakebase/twiki/bin/view/Main/�stermark
(URI::InvalidURIError)
from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/uri/common.rb:481:in `parse'
from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/open-uri.rb:85:in `open'
from testbed.rb:15

I have chcped till I am blue in the face, gsubbed the
string, etc, etc, but the uri parser won't have some
Danish characters in any shape or form. Anyone have
any idea how I can persuade uri to take them, or some
other viable method of getting a page back with Danish
chars in it, or am I going to have to hack my local
copy of common.rb apart to make this happen?

rgds
