Thank You Alex, but this did not change any behaviour. Sending the "o" from a form works fine as it did without the SetCharacterEncodingAction.
I guess the problem has to do with 1. Encoding ISO-8859-1 in href-attributes to the encoding scheme used in URLs and 2. decoding back to ISO-8859-1 Somewhere the encoding information gets lost or whatever. I don't understand exactly what happens. I don't understand character encoding in detail but shouldn't be represented the ISO-8859-1 "o" in an URL as "%F6"? If this is true, the problem could be in the HTML serializer which does assume characters in href attributes always as "UTF-8"?!? Yes this makes sense, doesn't it?
