No you do not need to also add ?q=1 to the body, unless your server
expects the inputs in a POST request. The code you listed below (after
giving the URL to an CFHTTPMessage and creating an HTTPReadStream via
the API) will send:
GET /?q=1 HTTP/1.1
<headers>
<empty line>
to the server at localhost on port 80. I'm guessing that your server
software will then parse the query string '?q=1' into something useful
on your end.
I believe this is query string is expected from a web browser when
sending forms from html pages if a certain option (method = get) is set.
you might wish to take a look at http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/interact/forms.html
which might clear things up. PHP commonly handles the parsing of
either the POST with the inputs in the body data or the GET with the
inputs in the url.

hi-
i want to make a GET request at "http://localhost/?q=1";.
is this the proper approach?
CFStringRef url = CFSTR("http://localhost/?q=1";);
CFURLRef myURL = CFURLCreateWithString(kCFAllocatorDefault, url,
NULL);
or do i need to encode the "q=1" portion into the body of the request?
thanks,
augusto.
