wrong escaping of POST data

#3562

When submitting a form with text data containing "<" character in a text_area, the data are escaped incorrectly on the server side. Consequently the params received contain wrong data.

Example:
Post data: "A<B, C<D"
Received data: "A<D" rather than "A<B, C<D"

This issue is only present with < signs, and is probably related to XSS filtering.
An option to disable escaping would be welcomed.
