Jochen Wiedmann commented on IO-642:
------------------------------------
Why do you consider this a bug? Throwing an NPE, if either parameter is null,
makes perfect sense to me. What else should the method do?
Besides, that behaviour is even documented. Quoting the
[Javadoc
API|[https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-io/javadocs/api-release/index.html]]
Throws:{{[NullPointerException|http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/lang/NullPointerException.html?is-external=true]}}
- if either input is null
> NPE in org.apache.commons.io.IOUtils.contentEqualsIgnoreEOL(Reader, Reader)
> when only one input is null
