As usual, we can pass parameters to this CGI script at the end of a URL, too. Fig-
ure 15-12 shows the page we get when passing a user and age explicitly in this URL:
http://localhost/cgi-bin/tutor4.py?user=Joe+Blow&age=30Figure 15-12. Reply page from tutor4.py for parameters in URL
Notice that we have two parameters after the? this time; we separate them with &. Also
note that we’ve specified a blank space in the user value with +. This is a common URL
encoding convention. On the server side, the + is automatically replaced with a space
again. It’s also part of the standard escape rule for URL strings, which we’ll revisit later.
