        String query = urlParts[1];
        for (String param : query.split("&")) {
            String pair[] = param.split("=");
            String key = URLDecoder.decode(pair[0], "UTF-8");
            String value = "";
            if (pair.length > 1) {
                value = URLDecoder.decode(pair[1], "UTF-8");
            }
            List values = params.get(key);
            if (values == null) {
                values = new ArrayList();
                params.put(key, values);
            }
            values.add(value);
        }
    }
    return params;
}
