Encoding with german Umlaute

Hello Folks, I have the following problem.

I'm using ckfinder 1.4 together with ckeditor 3.0 on a german website.
The php server has iconv enabled and is set to "ISO-8859-1".
The website charcterset is set to "ISO-8859-1".
In ckfinder I changed $config["FilesystemEncoding"] to "ISO-8859-1".

If I select a file from the server (e.g. /userfiles/ö/test.pdf) I would expect to get:
/userfiles/%F6/test.pdf
but instead I'm getting:
/userfiles/%C3%B6/test.pdf

whats wrong?
Thanks in advance, tobi

This is correct behavior. URLs are always UTF-8 encoded. Is there any reason why you use something else but Unicode?

URL's are always UTF-8, also if the characterset is ISO-8859-1 ? Hmm ok, i didn't kown this. But If I click, the link, I receive the apache error "document doesnt exist". So maybe I need to change something in the apache, that he can resolve the url?

I used ISO-8859-1 because I didnt needed unicode support. And to change the whole application including database backend to UTF-8 is a huge effort. Until now I worked with fckeditor 2.2 and it worked fine, except that some users (Firefox 3.5) have problems with the link manager. So I need to update.

Please check HTTPd docs then. It should work out of the box. As far as a I know.
