HttpCore is not the right place for this kind of functionality. It is
meant to be a low level transport library that provides the most generic
HTTP primitives only. Support for URL encoded forms will be made
available in HttpClient 4, which will be based on HttpCore.
You are very welcome to make the FormEntity class more generic, provide
some test cases for it and contribute it to HttpClient 4.0
