</PARAMETERS>

Parameters passed as URL arguments

If the AllowUrlParameters attribute in the EXECUTION (for application) element is set to TRUE, parameters can be passed as arguments in the application URL using key-value pairs in the format "arg=value".

http://myWebServer/gas/ua/r/myApp?arg=val1&arg=val2

Parameters provided in the URL are positioned after parameters defined in the PARAMETERS element of the configuration file.
