NPE in HttpRequest

[Valdis Rigdon]

Couldn't find a link on the issue site to submit an issue, so I'm 
posting here...

There exists a potential for a NPE on line 108 in HttpRequest, which I 
happened to hit.  :)  The line is comparing a primitive int with an 
Integer object.  In my case, the Integer was null.  "Under the hood when 
you autobox and treat an Integer as an int or vice versa, the compiler 
inserts a call to intValue()" 
(http://www.theserverside.com/blogs/thread.tss?thread_id=41731), thus 
generating a NPE.
