title: Erlang: HTTP GET Parameters with Inets
body: <p><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20170208104504/http://userprimary.net:80/posts/2009/04/04/exploring-erlangs-http-client/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">This post</a> indicates how to make a simple <code>GET</code> HTTP request with Erlang's <a href="http://erlang.org/doc/man/inets.html#start-0" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Inets application</a>.</p>
  <p>Sometimes, URLs have GET parameters:</p>
  <pre><code>http://example.net/item?parameter1=12&amp;parameter2=1431&amp;parameter3=8765
  </code></pre>
  <p>Besides including the parameters in the URL itself, is there a way to create variables and then send them with the request?</p>
  <p>Example appreciated.</p>
