I recently read a post on "6 Ways To Pass Parameters to API". Though the title is a bit misleading, as it’s unrelated to REST, it does an excellent job listing all ways to send parameters to a Spring application. I want to do the same for ; it’s beneficial when you write a custom plugin.

@frankel The one way to pass parameters is as… drumroll as parameter. 🙄🤷‍♂️

@frankel There’s just no „x ways“ to transfer parameters. There’s one. Because HTTP knows exactly one concept of a request parameter. Except you deliberately misinterpret what „a parameter“ is and tunnel it through other mechanisms. Which is abusing the protocol.

@frankel Yes.

@frankel I am not a fan of posts that misrepresent what they’re doing in their titles. Just as the original post it lists different ways to pass any kind of data but speaks of „passing parameters“. It feels like folks want to deliberately not understand the thing they claim to talk about. Words have meaning. Your post might be fine in general. But it’s riding a broken horse.
