[jira] [Created] (IO-334) FileUtils.toURLs throws NPE for null parameter; this is inconsistent with toFiles method behaviour

Sebb created IO-334:
-----------------------

             Summary: FileUtils.toURLs throws NPE for null parameter; this is inconsistent with toFiles method behaviour
                 Key: IO-334
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IO-334
             Project: Commons IO
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Sebb
            Priority: Trivial


The toFiles method treats null input the same as an empty array, however the toURLs method throws NPE for null input.

This is inconsistent.

The Javadoc for toURLs does not specify the behaviour for null input.

Either the method should be fixed to treat null as an empty array, or the NPE should be documented.
