pyyntöparametreina

Pyyntöparametreina is a Finnish term that translates to "as request parameters" in English. It refers to a common method of passing data to a server or application as part of a URL. When a user requests a web page or resource, they can include key-value pairs after a question mark in the URL. These pairs are known as request parameters.

For example, in the URL "http://example.com/search?q=wiki&sort=alphabetical", "q=wiki" and "sort=alphabetical" are request parameters. The server-side application can then access these parameters to understand what information the user is looking for or how they want the results presented. The key is "q" and its value is "wiki", and the key is "sort" with its value being "alphabetical".

This mechanism is widely used in web development for tasks such as filtering data, searching for specific content, or indicating user preferences. It is a fundamental aspect of how web applications interact with clients, allowing for dynamic and personalized content delivery without requiring multiple distinct pages for every possible variation. The parameters are typically separated by ampersands (&).
