Query String - Structure

Structure

A typical URL containing a query string is as follows:

http://server/path/program?query_string

When a server receives a request for such a page, it may run a program, passing the query_string unchanged to the program. The question mark is used as a separator and is not part of the query string.

A link in a web page may have a URL that contains a query string, however, HTML defines three ways a web browser can generate the query string:

  • a web form via the
    ...
     element
  • a server-side image map via the ismap attribute on the element with a construction
  • an indexed search via the now deprecated element

Famous quotes containing the word structure:

    “For the structure that we raise,
    Time is with materials filled;
    Our to-days and yesterdays
    Are the blocks with which we build.”
    —Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1809–1882)

    “When a house is tottering to its fall,
    The strain lies heaviest on the weakest part,
    One tiny crack throughout the structure spreads,
    And its own weight soon brings it toppling down.”
    —Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)

    “The verbal poetical texture of Shakespeare is the greatest the world has known, and is immensely superior to the structure of his plays as plays. With Shakespeare it is the metaphor that is the thing, not the play.”
    —Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
