# `--url-query`

This option adds a piece of data, usually a name + value pair, to the end of
the URL query part. The syntax is identical to that used for --data-urlencode
with one extension:

If the argument starts with a '+' (plus), the rest of the string is provided
as-is unencoded.

The query part of a URL is the one following the question mark on the right
end.
