Parameters with the same key

[nderkach]

Currently, as we store parameters in a dictionary there is now way to provide parameters with the same name, i.e. &bucket=id:seatgeek&bucket=id:songkick

Then, the questions is how to specify such case within constrains of a dictionary. You could do it via an array as a value: @"bucket": @[@"id:seatgeek", @"id:songkick"]

I don't have a better idea for now. I have a patch available with this implementation if you are ok with it.

If you could submit the patch, I'd be happy to merge it. Could you also provide a test case?

@nderkach With HTTP, wouldn't the proper way to handle that would be to specify that the bucket parameter is an array?

&bucket[]=id:seatgeek&bucket[]=id:songkick

Otherwise I'm not sure webservers would be able to handle that parameter. Is this what you are talking about?

@thibaultcha @nderkach Sometimes the param[]=value&param[]=value notation is used for arrays, while I've seen scenarios of arrays specified with param=value&param=value as well.

I am using this workaround, which is also valid URL syntax for ordered arrays:

param[0]=value&param[1]=value

and works with the NSDictionary.

It's weird that this library does not support array parameters.
