request encoding conversion possible?

[Kevin Profile]

Hello Helicon community!

I want to switch my ASP.NET website's request & response encoding from Windows-1252 to utf-8.
Search engines have indexed many of our URLs that contain encoded characters above ASCII 127.
For example Umlaut ä used to be %e4 but now in utf-8 it would be %c3%a4.

ASP.NET will not recognize the old encoded character as it has no meaning in utf-8 and so instead of ä it becomes the replacement character �

Is there any Voodoo magic inside ISAPI Rewrite 3 that could help me out convert and 301-redirect to the utf-8 encoded URL?


Thanks for your help this great of software!
