             Summary: CLONE - 
org.apache.http.client.utils.URLEncodedUtils.parse() should return a new 
ArrayList when there are no query parameters
                 Key: HTTPCLIENT-1890
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-1890
             Project: HttpComponents HttpClient
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: HttpClient (classic)
    Affects Versions: 4.5.4
            Reporter: Gary Gregory
            Assignee: Gary Gregory


{{org.apache.http.client.utils.URLEncodedUtils.parse(URI, Charset)}} should 
return a new {{ArrayList}} when there are no query parameters.

Currently, {{org.apache.http.client.utils.URLEncodedUtils.parse(URI, Charset)}} 
returns an immutable list through {{Collections.emptyList()}} if there are no 
params> But if there are parameters, the method returns a mutable list.

This makes it impossible to write the same code to handle both cases.

This change will cause the method to return a new {{ArrayList}} if there are no 
parameters.

The methods that are directly affected are:

- {{org.apache.http.client.utils.URLEncodedUtils.parse(URI, Charset)}}
- {{org.apache.http.client.utils.URLEncodedUtils.parse(HttpEntity)}}
- {{org.apache.http.client.utils.URLEncodedUtils.parse(String, Charset)}}
- {{org.apache.http.client.utils.URLEncodedUtils.parse(String, Charset, 
char...)}}
