Method HttpMessage() :addParameter() Foundation

Adds a HTTP parameter.

Syntax
 
:addParameter( <cName>, <cValue>|<aValues>  ) --> self
Parameters
<nName>
A character string with the name of the parameter.
<cValue>
A character string with the value of the parameter.
<aValues>
An array of parameter values, specified as character strings.
Return

:addParameter() returns the object executing the method.

Description

The method :addParameter() adds a HTTP parameter to the parameter list along with its value. Existing values are preserved, which means that if a parameter named <cName> already exists, the value specified in <cValue> is appended to this parameter's value list.

For adding a parameter with multiple values to the parameter list, an array of values can be assigned to the <aValues> parameter. In this case, the values in the array elements are added to the value list of the HTTP parameter in one go, instead of having to calling :addParameter() repeatedly.

HTTP parameters are transferred as part of the query string. The methods :addParameter(), :delParameter(), :getParameter(), :getParameters() and their respective :set..() counterparts allow direct and easy manipulation of this part of the HTTP query string. Use the method :getQueryString() for obtaining a reference to the complete string.
