Question

Answer 1

+3 A:

Usually you'll use query parameters:

http://localhost/&lt;contextroot&gt;/users/&lt;username&gt;?a=10&amp;b=hello

You haven't indicated which language or framework you are using so I can't tell you how to do this in code.

Also, you can use the URI path, depending on what the parameters *mean*. If you need more than just query parameters, it should probably have been a POST request.

thanks for the quick response. I use Java / J2EE with RAD / Restlet framework. The purpose is to do a Search operation. Allow a "like" Search to be done. There is a need to pass "%" with query parameters.

@Subramanian: "There is a need to pass "%" with query parameters". So? You encode query parameters to escape special characters like that. Search for "Encoding Query Parameters" for examples.

Answer 2

A:

You could also use URLs of the style http://localhost/<contextroot>/comments/<username>/after/<date>, but that tends to get messy if you wish to include a large number of options.
