WebDAV is XML technology, therefore essentially unicode.
Apparently, your "title"s are plain strings. Therefore, Python needs to convert them to unicode at the WebDAV boundary. Obviously, an encoding is necessary to do this -- and as no explicit encoding is given, Python's defaultencoding is used (which defaults to "ascii").
The most proper solution would be to make your "title"s unicode.
If all your plain strings use a common encoding, then you can set Python's defaultencoding to this encoding. You must do that at startup (e.g. in "sitecustomize.py"), as "setdefaultencoding" is removed from "sys" after startup.
Thanks a lot. ------- ZOPE_INSTANCE/lib/python/sitecustomize.py : import sys sys.setdefaultencoding('utf-8') ------- works like a charm. Pawel Lewicki
