UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xe6 in position 371: ordinal not in range(128)

[liuhuanjim013]

when listing directory containing utf-8 encoded files, i got the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "src/webdav/WebdavClient.py", line 877, in <module>
    for resource, properties in webdavConnection.getCollectionContents():

UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xe6 in position 371: ordinal not in range(128)

modifying Connection.py in the following way fixes the problem:

< for status in unicode(response.msr).strip().split('\n'):
---
> for status in unicode(str(response.msr),encoding='utf-8').strip().split('\n'):

thanks!

some people might not be using utf-8. I think it's safer to use

unicode(str(response.msr),encoding=sys.getfilesystemencoding())
