Thanks, but the point was to be able to do it all as GET. Support for POST only became a necessity trying to parse some search engines with parameters in the url.

Yes, you encode `&` as `%26`, `=` as `%3d`, `?` as `%3f` etc. You only need to resort to POST if you would hit length limits with your constructed url.

  Thanks again, I see your point, but this would make the syntax absolutely obscure. The idea is to keep it simple, to just call ?url=theurl&sel=.simple_stuff I will look at using something else than % as you suggested.

    It doesn't make the syntax obscure, it makes the syntax standard. Your syntax, being ad hoc, is obscure.
