Apr 02, 2010HTTP::query, How to grab PART of the query parameters?
I am looking to use a query string parameter as part of an authentication profile but I am unsure of the behavior if there are multiple parameters. Example:
If the URI is /index.html?lang=eng then HTTP::query returns lang=eng
If the URI is /index.html?lang=eng&locale=US&goto=http://someothersite then HTTP::query returns lang=eng&locale=us&goto=http://someothersite. Right?
So the question, how do I get just the value of one of the query strings? Say I want get the value of the locale query which US. I know that I can use HTTP::query to set a variable but I don't know how to just grab part of it.
TIA,
Joe

Split the result from [HTTP::query] on the '&' character. That gives you an array of key=value pairs. Iterate over each of those and split on the '=' character... You'll have key & value. - hoolio

You can also use URI::query to get the value of a specific parameter in the query string. There's a bug in the parameter value parsing though, so you can use a workaround:
