A simple url submit containing only english characters are OK:

http://www.abc.com/submit.php?msg=test

If the value of msg is replaced with a chinese:

http://www.abc.com/submit.php?msg=ä¸æ–‡

We encounter the following error

Reading the http://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/CHANGES_2.0
an update to 2.0.40 or above may get you out of these troubles
Changes with Apache 2.0.40
*) Fix WinNT cgi 500 errors when QUERY_ARGS or other strings include
extended characters (non US-ASCII) in non-utf8 format. This brings
Win32 back into CGI/1.1 compliance, and leaves charset decoding up
to the cgi application itself. [William Rowe]

Reading further UTF-8 gets the looks of a mine field ... seen one, trapping
the other :-(

There has been an issue with FireFox trashing UTF-8 urls too ( solved
Februari 2005 )
