How do I send array data, like A[1]=111, A[2]=222, A[3]=333 to a CGI script? I don't think I can do something like http://.../xxx.cgi?A[1]=111&A[2]=222&A[3]=333 Or, can I?
I have seen a same variable repeated, http://.../xxx.cgi?A=111&A=222&A=333 but that means the CGI script has to build the array.
The square brackets aren't support HTTP characters, they are actually considered unsafe and shouldn't be used.[0] I have seen two ways of what you are asking for: <http://example.com/endpoint/?A=111&A=222&A=333> and <http://example.com/endpoint/?A_1=111&A_2=222&A_3=333>. I don't see the issue with having to build an array for the values. If the sender is sending an array the recipient should receive an array.
