    Hi socaltester,

    Quick question...when you say "deal with", what do you mean by this?

    Secondly REST rules state the sequence in which your Query parms appear in your URI string doesn't matter....i.e. your endpoint should deal with the request no matter what order your query parms are in. With this in mind, are you sure you need to "deal with" the repeated query parm in a nonsequential order?

    Cheers,

    Rich

You're response is spot on and I'm pleasantly surprised that maybe my attempt to use the pipe "|" symbol late last week should be retried. I will retry and report.

 

Thank you.
