unescaping uri in HttpWebRequest

Expand Post »

Hi, all!

I'm trying to send a HttpWebRequest to an url that, other than %20, does not take escaped characters.
But for some reason, when I do:
_HttpWebRequest = DirectCast(System.Net.HttpWebRequest.Create(New Uri("http://web_address")), System.Net.HttpWebRequest) I end up with an escaped uri string.
For example, a string containing the swedish letters å, ä and ö always become escaped.
I need to prevent that from happening.

Anyone knows how to do this, so that I can send a clean uri string?

Thanks!
