Hash returned from CGI.parse has [] as default value

Bug #14793: Hash returned from CGI.parse has [] as default value

Description

Is there a valid reason for this behaviour? It looks like a bug to me:

require 'cgi'

params = CGI.parse("")
params["x"]
#=> []

(Expected nil)

I looked at history and it looks like it has been there from the very beginning of cgi.rb.

My mistake, it looks like all CGI values are always returned as arrays:

CGI.parse("x=y")
#=> {"x"=>["y"]}

Please close.
