Profiling with NSDictionary in URL

Asked by Georg Wacker

I'm developing http://discrotate.sourceforge.net/ which sets drive speeds for optical media.

To guide the user which devices are supported I want to build a device-matrix using profiling.

I wonder how I could submit multiple datasets if the user has multiple optical drives.

If I set key:@"MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-857D" value:@"supported", the php-script can't parse the parameter.

If I just use key:@"drive" value:@"MATSHITA..." and omit the ones which are not supported, I would only have positive submissions.

Could I somehow encode a NSDictionary into the appcast-URL?

So I would set key:@"drives" value:[NSDictionary withDriveKeyValueObjects]

Define an encoding of your own. Like:

key:@"drive" value:"DRIVE1NAME:::supported+++DRIVE2NAME:::unsupported"

Then update the PHP script to be able to parse that stuff.

Can you help with this problem?
