Note:

• Using the GET, POST, and REST methods to issue an HTTP request with data containing special characters (such as %, &, <, and >) causes translation of the data to legal HTTP codes. To prevent this from happening, and to allow the HTTP request body to be sent "as is", include 'content-type:text/html' in the HTTP header of the request.

• The body of the HTTP request cannot be Unicode.
