I found the problem, I'm working on a fix.
It happens only when you send the high bytes ( well, the URL is supposed
to have only ASCII ), and the query decoding defaults right now to UTF8.
The simple fix is to change the default to 8859_1, as required by spec,
but the right fix is to pass the detected encoding.
Thant's for finding that.
