Thank you for drawing this to my attention -- indeed you are correct! Turns
out I made an idiotic mistake in my URL rewriting mechanism -- whereby all
%XX-encoded characters accidentally got decoded into raw 8-bit form and sent
to the browser that way. Thus, it was outputting this HTTP header:
Location: http://hugin.ldraw.org/LEGO/Transport/Skibe/Robåd/
...when it should've been outputting this:
Location: http://hugin.ldraw.org/LEGO/Transport/Skibe/Rob%E5d/
Since the 8-bit character å isn't a kosher URL character, this may fail on
some browsers and work on some browsers.
Note: you *might* need to restart your browser and/or flush its cache to
make the link work correctly.
However, even with this jump.cgi fix, this doesn't apparently fix the ultimate
problem (the page not appearing). As far as I can tell, the target webserver,
hugin.ldraw.org, is still refusing to serve the page at the supposedly correct
URL. (More below.)

I get an error page when I cut & paste the URL into Netscape as well as Lynx.
(However, the error page does point me to a page in Danish that does seem to
work. It's got index.da.html on the end.) Your browser must be a lot more
lenient about URLs that contain non-ASCII characters.
Jacob, could you confirm the correct and canonical URL?
