SYMPTOMS
In the Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Service Pack 1 (SP1), when you retrieve information by using the HttpRequest.ClientCertificate method or the HttpRequest.ServerVariables method, special characters like &quot;å&quot;, &quot;ä&quot;, and &quot;ö&quot; are omitted from the retrieved request. For example, you have a Client Certificate subject of &quot;Patrik Müller&quot;. In this scenario, the Request.ClientCertificate[&quot;subject&quot;] method returns &quot;Patrik Mller&quot;.

Note You may experience this symptom in earlier versions of the .NET Framework. This hotfix only fixes the symptom in the .NET Framework 1.1 SP1.
