GET Query Parameters Require an Equal Sign

           Summary: GET Query Parameters Require an Equal Sign
           Product: Tomcat 4
           Version: 4.0.4 Beta 3
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows NT/2K
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Catalina
        AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: lkarpel@eloquent.com


Method org.apache.catalina.util.RequestUtil.parseParameters requires parameters 
to contain an equals sign. If they don't contain an equals sign they are 
totally ignored.

For example in:

  http://www.xxx.com?id=joe&aaa&bbb

both aaa and bbb should be defined as legal parameters with empty strings as 
thier values .. as if

  http://www.xxx.com?id=joe&aaa=&bbb=

were entered. 

I can't seem to find any spec on this .. but just ignoring these parameters 
does not seem right. 

Other app servers, such as IIS, JRun, ServletExec, WebLogic, HPAS, do not 
ignore parameters specified in this way .. for these app servers the equal sign 
is not required syntax.
