User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; fr; rv:1.9.0.7)

When I want to user the method WebClient.UploadValues, with an UTF-8 encoding,
all accented characters become '?'. The web page uses UTF-8 and it works fine
with the .NET framework.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create a new instance of WebClient
2.Set the encoding to UTF-8
3.Upload accented value using "POST" method to a web page.
Here is an exemple :
WebClient wc = new WebClient();
NameValueCollection nv = new NameValueCollection();
nv.Add("test", "plop éé");
wc.Encoding = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8;
byte[] result = wc.UploadValues("http://galaid.free.fr/testmono.php", "POST",
nv);
Console.WriteLine(System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetString(result));
Actual Results:  
ééé
plop ??

Expected Results:  
ééé
plop éé

Here is the php code of testmono.php :
print(utf8_encode("ééé"));
print("\n");
print($_POST["test"]);
