CGI Call with Multiple Parameters (GET)

When you need to pass multiple parameters to a CGI application, you append them to the CGI's URL as a list of ampersand (&) separated name=value pairs. Again, parameter names and values must be encoded according to HTTP rules.

The following links call the CGI /cgi-bin/examples/cgi_mlt.vi which simply generates an HTML document with the contents of the parameter list.

/cgi-bin/examples/get_mlt.vi

This call does not contain query information.

/cgi-bin/examples/get_mlt.vi?count=46

/cgi-bin/examples/get_mlt.vi?name=John%20Doe

/cgi-bin/examples/get_mlt.vi?name=John%20Doe&age=23

This call has a query string that contains two parameters name and age with the values John Doe and 23, respectively.
