But at the very least, you could put parameters in a hash (with name as key, value as... well, value), and have one function that urlencodes values, puts strings along the lines of &quot;{KEY}={URLENCODED VALUE}&quot; into a list and joins the whole list together with &quot;&amp;&quot; as a separator. More complex, but removes the need to repeat concatenation and urlencoding everywhere.
