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
