another code sample

[juan_gandhi]

  def parameters(href): Map[String, String] = href split("\\?",2) toList match {
    case url::params::Nil => params.split("&") map (_ split "=" toList) collect {
      case k::v::Nil => k->v
    } toMap

    case otherwise => Map.empty  
  }

Or?...

wouldn't catch the case when param1=value1&param1=value2

also & will break everything

I'd suggest to use URL from Apache HttpClient.

what does these toLists toMaps cost?
