Representation Links ArgumentNullException when Href is not set

[joeburdick]

Consider this Representation and corresponding SimpleListRepresentation:

public class ItemRepresentation : Representation {}

public class ItemListRepresentation : SimpleListRepresentation<ItemRepresentation>
{
    public ItemListRepresentation() { }

    public ItemListRepresentation(IList<ItemRepresentation> list) : base(list) { }
}

If an ItemListRepresentation contains an ItemRepresentation without Href property set, then RepopulateHyperMedia() on ItemRepresentation will set Links to null, which will cause an ArgumentNullException to be thrown by ToLink(IHypermediaResolver resolver).

Should a more informative exception be thrown somewhere to handle this case?

Hi @joeburdick

Was this issue meant for WebApi.Hal?

Yes. I'm stupid. Sorry about that.
