k...
you say that as bad as.
you probably will need to replace all scandinavian characters with their ascii-code.

thus you could use something similar to:
code:
$address="what.ever.with.scandies.in/it/mjölk"
$replace_these="å","Å","ö","Ö","ä","Ä"
"address is at start:" ?
$address
? "these characters will be replaced with URI-code:" ?
$replace_these
?
for each $char in $replace_these
"."
$address=join(split($address,$char),"%#"+asc($char)+";")
next
? "address after conversion:" ?
$address

this is not perfect as put it together on the fly...
but something similar.
