Hi Monks,

I have a CGI program which gets a URL looks like this:

http://example.mycgi.com:9999/service?func=search&institute=DEMO&calling_app=ABC&url=http://return.link.com:8997/F?local_base=admin&func=save&base=staff

All what comes after the "&url=" is a backlink URL which I need to find.
Now, I am trying to parse the part from the "&url=" to the end but cannot find a way of doing it.
When using the "query_string" function, I get the following string:

func=search;func=save;institute=DEMO;calling_app=ABC;url=http%3A%2F%2Freturn.link.com%3A8997%2FF%3Flocal_base%3Dadmin;base=staff

Notice that the "func=save" is moved from its place to be after the "func=search", and now I cannot find it when I create the back URL.

Is there a way to simply get the full URL as is and parse it by myself?

Thanks
