WebGetPostData converts characters to HTML
Paul Timms

Operating system: macOS
A change has been made to the function WebGetPostData between 8.5 2023-03-16 and 8.5 2024-01-27. In the latter version, it is encoding special characters in HTML, for example a quotation mark becomes ". Is this change by design or is it a bug? If it's by design, this is a major change that we need to consider when upgrading customer systems.

Note that WebGetRawPostData does not do any conversion of characters, so a workaround/fix is to change HAL code to use this instead.
