Upload a file - special characters are converted to html chars?

Hi,

I'm reading a file using file chose dialog (by GWT FileUpload).. Therefore on the client side I created a form that has the content of the file as a String in its SubmitCompleteEvent.

Problem: already on the client side (before sending the content to the server), special characters like '&' are incorrectly read as eg '&'. So somehow replaced with the HTML character implementation.

Question: Why, and more important: how can I prevent this? If I can't prevent this, this would mean I'd have to run a regex against all special characters the could occur in a file, and replace their html representation. That would be kind of senseless...

 @UiField FormPanel uploadForm;

 @UiHandler("uploadForm")
    void onSubmitForm(SubmitCompleteEvent evt) {  
    Sysout(evt.getResults()); //prints: &
 }


Thanks
