I was about to ask "which server are you talking to?" because I knew mod_dav returned the values appropriately. Didn't figure on a client problem :-) The other possibility is that I'm mistaken in assuming that & is the correct substitution for an ampersand in an <href> element. I could see an argument being made that the URL should be encoded using %26 for the ampersand. I'm copying the main WebDAV mailing list for feedback on this point.
