Setting Parameter Values
Request parameter values are set using the format.
ParameterName=value
The following example is a parameter/value pair.
Operation=ItemSearch
Parameter values must be URL-encoded. There are some characters, such as an asterisk or space,
that cannot go into a URL. There are equivalents of these characters that you use in requests instead.
For example, the URL encoded equivalent of a space is %20. So, instead of writing Name=John
Smith you would write Name=John%20Smith.
Parameter Names and Values are Case Sensitive
Parameter names and values are case sensitive. For example, the following declaration is fine.
SearchIndex=Apparel
The following examples return errors because the capitalization is incorrect.
Searchindex=Apparel SearchIndex=apparel
As you can see in these examples, parameter names and values start with capitals. If the name or value is a compound word, the beginning of each new word is capitalized, for example, in the parameter name, SearchIndex, the "I" is capitalized.
