null/empty value in request string
hi
i have a post request like this:
param1=value1¶m2=¶m3=value3
if i put these into a ArrayList<NameValuePair> for a POST, should the value
of param2 an empty-string or should it be null ? does defaultHttpClient
handle these 2 cases differently ?
thanx
cheers

Khiem,
HttpClient handles treats empty and null parameter values the same
List<NameValuePair> nvps = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>();
nvps.add(new BasicNameValuePair("p1", ""));
nvps.add(new BasicNameValuePair("p2", null));
System.out.println(URLEncodedUtils.format(nvps, HTTP.ASCII));
> p1=&p2=
Hope this helps
