Is there a way to get a Map (or similar data structure) of all query parameteres in a request? I need to deal with dynamic query parameters.

[dave]

Request(Method._GET_, "").uri._queries_()

[Mikael Ståldal]

request.uri._queries_()._toParametersMap_()
seems to do what I need. But why is the type Map<String, List<String?>> and not Map<String, List<String>> ?

[dave]

because queries don't have to have a value

[Mikael Ståldal]

So like /foo?q1=&q2=bar , then q1 will be null? Or empty string?

[dave]

try it out! 🙂

[Mikael Ståldal]

Seems to be empty string. So when will it be null?

[dave]

"<http://asd/asd?a&b=c&c=>"

[Mikael Ståldal]

Ah, right.
