I'm posting a JSON web request and the everything seems to go through properly, but part of the response contains strange characters. I've tried a few different things, like changing the ContentType, but it hasn't fixed the issue.
For what it's worth, the host I'm connecting to states "The character set of all parameters is GB2312" and the return is by XML (Content-type:text/xml) in their documentation. I'm not sure this has any relevance towards my issue, though.

Any idea what might be causing this or how I can fix it? I would really like to see the proper response being sent. Thanks in advance!
