Well, I'm not sure exactly what the 501 means, but the xml doesn't  
look quite right:

1) I don't know if those \ characters were just an artifact of how  
you copy & pasted the body, but I don't think they should be there
2) The prop & propfind elements have the same XML namespace as  
resourcetype (DAV:).

So, you want something more like:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><D:propfind xmlns:D="DAV:">  
<D:prop><D:resourcetype /></D:prop></D:propfind>

or (specifying a default xml namespace of DAV:)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><propfind xmlns:="DAV:">  
<prop><resourcetype /></prop></propfind>
