Don't use the HttpUtility class

[GoogleCodeExporter]

External references, such as a standards document, or specification?

Target platform (e.g. Windows, Mono, Silverlight, WP7, All)?

All

Please describe the feature requested.

Why is the HttpUtility class used (and imported from Mono)? As far as I can 
see, only the Uri encoding is actually used and this can be easily accomplished 
by using the Uri.EscapeDataString and Uri.UnescapeDataString methods, which are 
part of the .NET Framework core.

There's one reference to HTML entity encoding in Google.Apis.Utilities, but the 
function is never used inside the core library.

I think there was a different reason why we couldn't use the escape/unescape 
methods in the Uri class, but I will look into this more closely. Thanks for 
the report!

As part of upgrading the .NET 4.0 (and PCL soon) this class was deleted
