querystring: check that maxKeys is finite
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
There was a very subtle change in behavior introduced with 27def4f

In the past if querystring.parse was given Infinity for maxKeys,
everything worked as expected.

Check to see is maxKeys is Infinity before forwarding the value to
String.prototype.split which causes this regression
