Khiem,

HttpClient handles treats empty and null parameter values the same

List<NameValuePair> nvps = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>();
nvps.add(new BasicNameValuePair("p1", ""));
nvps.add(new BasicNameValuePair("p2", null));
System.out.println(URLEncodedUtils.format(nvps, HTTP.ASCII));

> p1=&p2=

Hope this helps
