Steve Briskin updated HTTPCLIENT-1746:
--------------------------------------
Description:
In 4.2 and 4.3, {{URLEncodedUtils.parse(String, CharSet)}} returns an empty
List for a null String input.
In 4.4, {{URLEncodedUtils.parse(null, Charset.forName("UTF-8"))}} throws an
NullPointerException.
For the sake of API backward compatibility, parse(String, CharSet) should
return an empty list.
Note that parse(String, CharSet, char...) does the null check and returns an
empty list. I think parse(String, CharSet) should have the same behavior.
