oh no, i'm wrong - DAV is only sent with OPTIONS responses. bleh.

i really think you should just do the OPTIONS request first no matter
what. it's unambiguous, and it's not like it's going to add a
noticeable delay. servers usually have next-to-zero processing to do
to return those responses, and if you're worried about network
latency, the OPTIONS is going to pale in comparison to the subscribe
anyway.
