Who the hell writes
if 'null'? If it's a thing, what language would interpret a string like that?It's fine in PHP, so that catches most server backends.
Ruby as well, it even raises a warning about the string where a bool should be!
Python handles it just fine, as well.
Rust doesn't allow it, depending on the backend framework and server software this might give issues.
The same goes for C# .NET
So depending on how this is handled a C# or Rust backend might cause the name not to be stored, but then I'd expect nothing to be stored... :/
