Description

public StringBody(final String text, final ContentType contentType)

This constructor throws NPE on text.getBytes(Charset) if passed text is null.

Also, this constructor lacks javadoc.

I think that is should handle null text gracefully, or throw IllegalArgumentException like it's documented on other constructors in case of null text.
