[Mono-list] Web Services encoding

[Cedric Marcone]

Hi all,

I've got a question that sounds silly but as I couldn't find any
pointers here it is :

"How to change the response encoding for Web Services ?"

Objects seems to be serialized to XML using "us-ascii" encoding : 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="us-ascii"?>

-> This leads to broken characters (replaced by question marks)

Moreover, I don't understand why the response header specifies that
utf-8 is being used.
Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8


-> Here's a summary of a conversation as captured by ethereal :

By the way, I'm using mono from Ubuntu Hoary (1.0.5)
