title: Encoding issue with Portuguese characters
body: <p>I am doing a web request for a Portuguese web page. After I get the result, I see the some of the characters are getting converted to hash format.</p>
  
  <p>Example:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Source: PRAÇA DOS OMAGUÁS
  
  Result I am getting : PRA&amp;#199;A DOS OMAGU&amp;#193;S
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I tired set the encoding format to "IBM860" (reference: <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.text.encodinginfo.getencoding.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.text.encodinginfo.getencoding.aspx</a>) for webrequest. But it is still not able to convert.</p>
  
  <p>Any ideas?</p>
