add support to request.url_for for query parameters

I totally misunderstood url_for’s API, I was expecting url_for('some_route', foo='bar') to return 'http://testserver/my_route/?foo=bar'.

I understand why that is now, but what is the best way to generate urls like this? (for pagination in a rest list api in this case).

Could url_for grow support for query parameters in addition to path parameters?

are there any updates?

We probably want to differentiate it more clearly from the properties on the URL class. (.params might just as well indicate a property on the class. .with_query() makes it kinda clear that it’s going to return a new URL.)

I think we probably want to end up with…

• .query_params - A QueryParams datastructure.
• .query_string - A raw string.
• .with_query(...) - A new URL.
