HttpWebResponse

[Jonathan via DotNetMonster.com]

When using HttpResponse, I'm getting HTML entities in the returned value:

For example:
// the httpRequest has already been sent
HttpWebResponse httpResponse = null;
httpResponse = (HttpWebResponse)httpRequest.GetResponse();
StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(httpResponse.GetResponseStream());

Console.WriteLine(sr.ReadToEnd().ToString());

The results (partial) are:

<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"utf-8\" standalone=\"yes\"?>

The "<" and ">" are replaced with HTML markup. I'm sure there's a logical
explanation that I'm overlooking, so has anyone have an explanation?

HttpWebResponse does not do any content manipulation or escaping. If you are
seeing escape characters, they were probably being sent by the server
itself.
