[Bug java/21074] New: Trivial bug in the method getHeaderFieldKey() in the file java/net/protocol/http/HTTPURLConnection.java

["kreijack at inwind dot it" <gcc-bugzilla@gcc.gnu.org>]

Hi, 
 
I found a little bug in the implementention of the method  
getHeaderFieldKey( int index ) in the file  
java/net/protocol/http/HTTPURLConnection.java. 
 
This method doesn't check if the parameter 'index' if out of range, so if it  
is called with a index value too high a java.util.NoSuchElementException is  
raised. 
Instead the java doc  
( http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/net/HttpURLConnection.html#getHeaderFieldKey(int) )  
report that this method should return 'the value of the nth header field, or  
null if the value does not exist.' 
 
I suggest this patch to correct this beaviour; the patch implement the same  
control performed by the method getHeaderField( ).
