[Fedora-suds-list] Suds not using UTF-8 encoding?

[Joshua J. Kugler]

So, in my ongoing saga getting suds working with MS Exchange 2007 (which 
I'm sure you'll hear a lot more about before I'm done :) ), I hit an a 
couple interesting snags.

python-ntlm seems to time out against the server when doing POST 
requests (but get requests seem fine).  But that's not the current 
issue.

When one of my requests went through, I got back this message:

suds.WebFault: Server raised fault: 'Server was unable to process 
request. ---> Input message does not conform to Simple SOAP Binding 
Profile Version 1.0. Requirement R1012: A MESSAGE MUST serialize the 
envelope using either UTF-8 or UTF-16 character encoding.'

I thought Suds encoded everything in UTF-8 be default.  The debug output 
is below:

DEBUG:suds.client:sending to (https://myserver/EWS/exchange.asmx)
message:
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope 
xmlns:ns0="http://schemas.microsoft.com/exchange/services/2006/types"

         </ns2:FolderShape>
         <ns2:FolderIds>
            <ns0:DistinguishedFolderId Id="inbox"/>
         </ns2:FolderIds>
      </ns2:GetFolder>
   </ns1:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>
DEBUG:suds.client:headers = {'SOAPAction': 
u'"http://schemas.microsoft.com/exchange/services/2006/messages/GetFolder"', 'Content-Type': 'text/xml'}

Should the fact that it's UTF-8 encoded be in the headers or request 
somewhere like so:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Where is the errant behavior? Me? Suds? Exchange?
