[Lispweb] Getting url params when serving a page

[Richard Newman]

Jonathon,
   I don't quite understand what you want. I'm assuming:

   You have a page, not hosted by Araneida, that links to a page  
hosted by Araneida.

   You want the Araneida page to show different data based on URL  
params.

   You have two options:

1. using a standard hyperlink, either encode URL parameters or add on  
to the URL. Araneida will see the params, and you can conditionalise.

e.g.,
redirector: <a href="foo?param=bar">Link to Araneida</a>

Araneida:

   (with-url-params (param) (request-url request)
     (if (string= param "bar")
       ...))

2. using POST from a form/AJAX, do the same with form fields and body  
parameters.

   Does that answer your question?
