XML_RPC Library escaping values?

[eluser]louis w[/eluser]
Is there a way to prevent the xml-rpc library from escaping values without turning it off site side?

I am using log_message to output the contents of a variable in my response before i send and when I receive and getting strange escapes on the client.

Code:

SERVER SENDS:
<data page_id="511" path="/home" template_file_name="home">
    &lt;title&gt;&lt;![CDATA[Home]]>&lt;/title&gt;
    <content_xml><data><test>&lt;![CDATA[Hello]]></test></data></content_xml>
    <parent_path>&lt;![CDATA[/]]></parent_path>
</data>

CLIENT RECEIVES:
<data page_id="511" path="/home" template_file_name="home">
    & lt;title& gt;& lt;![CDATA[Home]]>& lt;/title& gt;
    <content_xml><data><test>& lt;![CDATA[Hello]]></test></data></content_xml>
    <parent_path>& lt;![CDATA[/]]></parent_path>
</data>
(I had to place a space between the & and gt; to make the board display it as an escaped value)

I do have $config['global_xss_filtering'] = FALSE; in my config.
