The latin1 encoding for U-with-umlaut is 0xDC. The cp850 encoding for the same is 0x9A. I deduce that you typed the above in a DOS command window on a Windows box. Fire up IDLE and try the same thing again. > but this seems to be wrong because server response contains my > parameter and it differ from original (for example 'Ü' became '[') You told it (maybe) that you were sending in latin1, then gave it 0x9A which in latin1 is a control character (SCI, single character introducer) and it gave you back a '[' ... garbage in, garbage out, perhaps? How about showing us (a) a snippet of the code you actually executed (b) the repr() of what was returned -- *NOT* a copy/paste from the screen; as shown above, a picture of U with two dots above it is not reliable information.
