Not sure exactly what "http://www.ipodder.org/aboutTheDirectory" is
supposed to be: if you could give a copy of the code snippet which is
causing the proglem, it might help me.

However, when I've run into this issue in the past, it has been as a
result of trying to pass in a <type 'unicode'> string rather than a
<type 'string'> string. You may want to check your code and run a str()
around anything that might be of type "unicode": you can test this by
using the function type(variable), and you can cast it by using
str(variable).
