I'm not sure I understand (or agree with) what Xavier is saying here.

.../wa/actionName?foo=bar&foobar=doo

is different to

../wa/actionName?foo=bar&amp;foobar=doo.

In the first case there are two parameters (or form values), one called foo and the other called foobar
with values "bar" and "doo". In the second case there is one parameter "foo" with a value "bar&foobar=doo".


If you URL escape the ampersands between parameters then you are effectively making them all one
value that gets associated with the first one.


Did I miss something?

Yes, according to rfc's when the -server- sends HTML to the client then both examples are the same but the second one is 'more correct' according to html spec. But when the client sends such a request back to the server then the client should do this:


hyperlink's href attribute reads:

href="/cgi-bin/WebObjects/myApp.woa/wa/login? username=david&amp;password=teran"

is converted -before- sending the request to the server to

href="/cgi-bin/WebObjects/myApp.woa/wa/login? username=david&password=teran"

this is how i read the definitions. So if one wants to send something like this to the server:

href="/cgi-bin/WebObjects/myApp.woa/wa/login? usernameAndPassword=david&amp;teran"

one (WebObjects) would have send this as html fragment to the client:

href="/cgi-bin/WebObjects/myApp.woa/wa/login? username=david&amp;amp;password=teran"

Hm well, i have no idea if this really works but i will make a test this night, just to check what a browser sends to the server...

regards Davi
