             Summary: Inconsistent behavior between WWWFormCodec and URLEncodedUtils for null input
                 Key: HTTPCORE-681
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCORE-681
             Project: HttpComponents HttpCore
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: HttpCore
    Affects Versions: 5.1
            Reporter: Siqi Li


Simple code example:
{code:java}
public static void main(String[] args) {
	System.out.println(URLEncodedUtils.parse((String) null, StandardCharsets.UTF_8)); // []
	System.out.println(WWWFormCodec.parse((String) null, StandardCharsets.UTF_8)); // null
}
{code}
 
 Basically when the input String is null, URLEncodedUtils.parse returns an empty list and WWWFormCodec.parse returns null. It's by no means a big deal, but it did catch me off guard, because I expected WWWFormCodec to be a drop-in replacement.
