Local $sQp = "txt=this%20is%20a%20test&color=blue&fruits=apples%26oranges"
$bSuccess = $oHt.AddQueryParams($sQp)

;  Add some additional name/value pairs.
$oHt.AddStr("name","Jack Sparrow")
$oHt.AddStr("movie","Pirates of the Carribean")

;  Iterate over the hash table to show what we have..

;  Output for the above loop:

;  color = blue
;  name = Jack Sparrow
;  fruits = apples&oranges
;  txt = this is a test
;  movie = Pirates of the Carribean

;  Get all name/value pairs as a query parm string with values URL encoded
$sQp = $oHt.ToQueryString()
ConsoleWrite($sQp & @CRLF)

;  Result:
;  color=blue&name=Jack%20Sparrow&fruits=apples%26oranges&txt=this%20is%20a%20test&movie=Pirates%20of%20the%20Carribean
