Github user CanardSauvage commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/httpclient/pull/35#issuecomment-134542001 Because you would need to do an if with StringUtils.isEmpty for every parameter. We build a lot of urls for redirects and for links with a lot of parameters. If we had blank values the urls would be longer and they are already really long. Or the code would be uglier and longer.
