Pass Query String to WebService 1

[MeonR]

I want to pass a query string with a parameter to a webservice. Something like this:

http://SomeWhere/MyWebService.asmx?op=StartIt=someParam="SomeVal"

This does not work.

[WebMethod]
public void StartIt(string someParam)
{
string someVal = HttpContext.Current.Request.QueryString.Get(someParam);
//Do whatever...

}

Is it even possible to do this? If so, what should the URL be? Its going to be placed into a simple html e-mail.

TIA

some options
1. encode the data string before appending to the query string.
2. use POST instead of GET

Thanks Jason:

I suppose I could use something like php's urlencode. But the post? This is only going to be a url or series of URL's in an html e-mail It want have a form tag. Does .NET have a way around this?

Ok, I get how to encode the data for the URL, but how do I use POST instead of GET?

that I'm not entirely sure on, but I know it's possible. Google is a good place to start
