Dear I�aki,

maybe you can use CGI.escape for your encoding problems?

I fetched the Spanish wikipedia page for Alarc�n like so:

# encoding: utf-8

require "cgi"
require 'open-uri'
 
search_what=CGI.escape("Alarc�n")
page="http://es.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Especial%3ABuscar&search=#{search_what}&fulltext=Buscar"
open(page){ |f| print f.read }

Best regards,

Axel
