mod_rewrite question

[alex79]

i do have problems in using special characters (umlauts) with mod_rewrite ... two script urls for example:

[url]http://www.domain.com/cgi-bin/script.pl?article=Briefmarken%20%26%20M%FCnzen[/url] 

How do i get those to:

http://www.domain.com/Briefmarken_&_Münzen.html 

i've tryed next mod_rewrite code:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
        RewriteEngine On
        RewriteRule (.*).html /cgi-bin/script.pl?article=$1 
</IfModule> 

but is only take the Briefmarken_ from Briefmarken_&_Münzen

also, i've tryed to encode the url but i get same result


anybody know how can this be done?

thanks
