I know that this comment isn't very helpful, but... that's HTML, not HTTP.
It's not part of the HTTP standard in any way.  If it were HTTP, it would
look like "%3c"

I would assume that the web service is doing it this way so that it will
display the text in a web browser rather than try to interpret it, but,
IMHO that's incorrect behavior.  It should, instead, return a different
content-type than TEXT/HTML.

It's doing it that way because of the XML. <, >, and & have to be escaped when 
they are sent in XML. If you don't escape those characters, you'll generate 
invalid XML.
