Good to see that this is *finally* getting some attention, as it's been a 
well-known problem for 10 years or so! [1]

One more possible solution is to include an extra field in the submitted GET 
data that indicates the character encoding of the submitted data.... kind of 
a "hidden field" as it were. 

It might look like:

    GET 
/foo.html?Content-type=application/x-www-form-urlencoded;charset=ancd;field1=abcd;field2=... 
HTTP/1.1

assuming the field is called "Content-type".
