Extra parameters can be appended to remote URIs. The table below Table 23.1, “Extra URI
parameters” covers the recognized parameters. All other parameters are ignored. Note that parameter
values must be URI-escaped (that is, a question mark (?) is appended before the parameter and
special characters are converted into the URI format).
