Lift Web Framework query string generator

How do you create a link with query string parameters:

/path/to/view?param=358&name=Something+with+space开发者_开发百科s

in Lift? I know you can simply write it, I am looking for a wise approach, which encode spaces and other special characters. For example:

Link("path/to/view").param("param", 358).param("name", "Something with spaces")

Thanks in advance, Etam.

There is appendParams method in net.liftweb.util.HttpHelpers trait:

import net.liftweb._
import util.Helpers._

val url = appendParams("/path/to/view",
                      ("param" -> "358") ::
                      ("name" -> "Something with spaces") :: Nil)

Reply from Scala REPL:

url: String = /path/to/view?param=358&name=Something+with+spaces

As you can see, it gets URL as a String, Seq of param tuples and finally returns String.
