I'm from Merida, Venezuela. I work at SABER-ULA, the largest institutional repository in my country. Right now we're trying to move from privative SW to DSpace 1.4.2, but we don't want to lose our visibility in the WWW. that's why we are trying to redirect all the link's from our old site to the new one via Apache mod_rewrite. we use spanish language in both, but the encoding is iso-8859-1 in the old repository, and utf-8 in the new one. that creates a problem while we try to redirect url's that contain special characters like ñ, í, ó, ú... etc. for example: in iso-8859-1 ó is encoded to %f3, in utf-8 ó is encoded to %c3%b3, that means DSpace is not able to understand an url containing ó, i changed encoding settings in tomcat from utf-8 to iso-8859-1 and it worked perfectly, but the idea is to keep utf-8 because of it's universality... i thougth about a few code lines working as a cgi program in apache that translate or convert iso to utf, but i don't know if i have to do it manually or there is a function or a library in any language that can be usefull to my problem. any comment is greetly received...
