Description

Summary of the issue:

There is no way to pass null values to query parameters. RPC ignores parameters with null values.

Example: there is no way to invoke http://10.192.24.63:8080/debbie/myparam.jsp?data
by passing null value to the parameter data.
This becomes an issue if user wants to have a generic method to invoke the URL with a value say
http://10.192.24.63:8080/debbie/myparam.jsp?data="abc"
and without value say
http://10.192.24.63:8080/debbie/myparam.jsp?data

Steps to reproduce:

1. Copy the attached mxmlc application to your FB project.
2. Turn on the network monitor.
3. Run the application.

Current Behaviour: The network monitor view shows the request URL as http://10.192.24.63:8080/debbie/myparam.jsp

Expected Behaviour: The network monitor view shows the request URL as http://10.192.24.63:8080/debbie/myparam.jsp?data

Workaround (if any):
None
