Facebooker talk - Oct 2008 - Signature failure during setRefHandle when umlaut''d character used

If I send a profile update via a ref handle and the update contains the 
character "?" (a-umlaut), I get an Signature error back from Bebo.

If I remove that character, all is ok.

The error returned is:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<error_response>
  <error_code>104</error_code>
  <error_msg>Invalid signature</error_msg>
  <request_args list="true">
---snip---
  </request_args>
</error_response>


Has anybody else seen this behaviour ?

I suspect this is an issue in the plugin signature code perhaps?

I have create a little test app in Java to talk direct to the WebService 
and both calls (with and without a-umlaut) return without issue.

Still looking...

It''s really hard to tell without any detail. A stack trace and enough  
information to calculate the signature would be helpful. Where is the  
? character? Very few things are signed. Are you using the right KCODE  
in rails?
