Character Encoding

[trewby]

When attempting to retrieve a Greek RSS feed via mx:HTTPService the characters
return in an unreadable state. The following code easily replicates my problem.
Am I missing something or is Flex?

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="windows-1253"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml"
initialize="feedRequest.send()">
<mx:HTTPService id="feedRequest"
url="http://www.bbc.co.uk/greek/index.rdf" showBusyCursor="true"
useProxy="true" result="mx.controls.Alert.show(event.result)"
resultFormat="text"/>
</mx:Application>

I'm trying to send text (using a flex form and submiting using POST) to a PHP
script but accented characters (like '?' ou '?') are not being correctly
encoded and on the other side i'm getting garbled text.

Any ideas?
