Special chars in Amazon S3 keys?

Is it possible to have special characters like åäö in the key? If i urlencode the key before storing it works, but i cant really find a way to access the object. If i write åäö in the url i get access denied (like i get if the object is not found). If i urlencode the url i paste in the browser i get "InvalidURICouldn't parse the specified URI".

Is there some way to do this?

Amazon supports key names with Unicode characters. You do not need to URL encode the key name when you upload a file to Amazon. You do need to URL encode the key name when you generate a download URL.

If you upload a file named åäö.txt to a bucket named mybucket, the download URL will be http://mybucket.s3.amazonaws.com/%C3%A5%C3%A4%C3%B6.txt
