geturl

I am using getURL() and htmlParse() - how can I make web-site content with special characters to be displayed properly?

library(RCurl); library(XML)
script <- getURL("http://www.floraweb.de/pflanzenarten/foto.xsql?suchnr=814")
doc <- htmlParse(script, encoding = "UTF-8")
xpathSApply(doc, "//div[@id='content']//p", xmlValue)[2]
[1] "Bellis perennis L., GÃ¤nseblÃ¼mchen"
# should say:
[1] "Bellis perennis L., Gänseblümchen"

> Sys.getlocale()
[1] "LC_COLLATE=German_Austria.1252;LC_CTYPE=German_Austria.1252;LC_MONETARY=German_Austria.1252;LC_NUMERIC=C;LC_TIME=German_Austria.1252"

If I made a homepage with an embedded .swf which had buttons that linked to other html pages on my website using the getUrl() function, would those links be spiderable by google?
