Section 14.2 of http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-http-v11-spec-rev-03.txt defines the accept-charset header that allows charset negotiation. This would apply to any method it is used with. Thus sending accept-charset with a PROPFIND does cause negotiation over the charset used in the PROPFIND response. Section 15 of http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-webdav-protocol-08.txt specifies that all DAV systems MUST support the charset requirements of XML. Section 2.2 of http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml#syntax specifies that all XML systems MUST support UTF-8 and UTF-16. Therefore you are guaranteed that that all DAV servers will be able to accept properties in UTF-8 or UTF-16 and be able to return properties in one of those two charsets. I hope this clarifies matters, Yaron
