Escaping characters

[jugler]

Hi!, awesome project!

Been writing a bot for my team, and we are sending some links from hubot to hipchat, but it seems they are getting escaped and causing issues when opening them, for example I send this from hubot:
hello&me

And in Hipchat it receives:
hello&me

This makes broken links. Is there a way to achieve this?

I found a dumb workaround by using the replace functionality.

  msg.send "/code #{stdout}"
  msg.send "s/amp;//"

Basically send another msg and strip away the amp;
Feel free to send me a beer, i've been scavenging the freaking internetz for an answer and there ain't a better one.
