jakarta-commons httpclient inquiry:
Currently, HttpMethod.java (an interface) defines a
method called "getResponseBody":
/**
* Return my response body, if any,
* as a byte array.
* Otherwise return <tt>null</tt>.
*/
public byte[] getResponseBody();
I would prefer if this method returns a zero-length array instead
of null.
Returning a zero-length array is one of the API design tips that
is recommended in Josh Bloch's book:
Effective Java Programming Language Guide

==> Item 27: Return zero-length arrays, not nulls
