title: Webservice parameter value encoding
body: <p>We have a webservice created in WCF and presenting itself as a basicHttpBinding. One of the parameters is a string which takes an xml string. Looking at the soap the client generates to send to the webservice, the xml is encoded, with all &lt; and > swapped into &amp;lt; and &amp;gt;. My question is, is this all that is encoded, or has the parameter been run through HtmlEncode so that other entities would be swapped also?</p>
  
  <p>The reason I ask is we are submitting with our client to a 3rd party webservice now and they would like to know the details on what is encoded.</p>
