Query String Forwarding

Query Strings

A query string is a part of a uniform resource locator (URL) that assigns values to specified parameters. A query string commonly includes fields added to a base URL by a Web browser or other client application, for example as part of an HTML form. Typical URL containing a query string is as follows:

https://example.com/over/there?name=ferret

Web frameworks may provide methods for parsing multiple parameters in the query string, separated by some delimiter. In the example URL below, multiple query parameters are separated by the ampersand, "&":

https://example.com/path/to/page?name=ferret&color=purple
