[ic] Strange misbehavior with IE/NS under WIN and german Umlaut

[Joachim Leidinger <jojo@blackpoint.de>]

Hi List,

I noticed a strange misbehavior with NS/IE and WINDOWS.
I've NS 6.1, IE 5.5 and WIN 2K!

First of all, I get a results page with NS 4.77 for Unix. The URL is

http://www.ordnungssinn.de/cgi-bin/shop/scan/su=1/se=Schlüssel
(Schlüssel = Schluessel with german umlaut u" like ü = key)

With NS under WIN 2K, typing the URL

http://www.ordnungssinn.de/cgi-bin/shop/scan/su=1/se=Schlüssel

into the URL bar, the URL bar is changing to

http://www.ordnungssinn.de/cgi-bin/shop/scan/su=1/se=Schl%C3%BCssel

suddenly and no items can't be found. The right URL should be as

http://www.ordnungssinn.de/cgi-bin/shop/scan/su=1/se=Schl%FCssel

and some items can be found.

If I type the URL into the URL bar of IE, the URl bar is not changing.
But I get

---- snip ----
Kategorie: Flur > Schlüsselringe & -anhänger
Zur Zeit Keine Artikel in Schlüsselringe & -anhänger
---- snip ----

Back to NS under WIN, if I press the link  "Flur" in the left menu bar,
some items can be found and the results page is correct.
The word "Schlüsselringe" is changing to "Schl%FCsselringe" in the URL
bar of NS (WIN) and this is correct. But with IE under WIN, the word
"Schlüsselringe" is not changing and I get a "Schlüsselringe" in my
results page.

I've teste any URL via scan for a word with german Umlaut to get a list
of known items in several Site with MV4.04 and IC 4.6.5!
Only NS for UNIX get a right list of items. 
With NS for WIN, NS don't get a list of items, if I write the URL into
the URL bar directly. But get a right list, if the excact same URL is
anywhere in a page as a link.
With IE for WIN, no right list of items.

What is the cause?

Any helps, tips and suggestions are very very wellcome!

Thanks!

Joachim
