hack to get querystring values

gistfile1.scala

def parse(uri: String) : Map[String,Seq[String]] = {
    if (uri == null || uri.isEmpty) {
      return Map()
    }

    def parsePairs(pair: String) : (String, String) = {
      val bits = pair.decodeUrl.split("=")
      (bits(0), bits(1))
    }

    val qs = uri.split("\\?")

    if (qs.size < 2) Map()
    else qs.last.split("&").map(parsePairs).groupBy(_._1).mapValues(_.map(_._2).toSeq)
  }
}

val outs = parse("google.com?cats=cool&kittens=awesome&cats=stillcool")
System.out.println(outs)
