LUA / URL Query Parsing

Question

How do I serialize the following url with lua?
Is it possible with the "match"?

http://example.com/go.php?user=stack&pass=overflow

Domain: example.com
User: stack
Pass: overflow

Try this:

s="http://example.com/go.php?user=stack&pass=overflow"
d,u,p=s:match("http://(.+)/.*user=(.-)&pass=(.+)")
print(d,u,p)

http://example.com/go.php?pass=overflow&user=stack That should work as well, but wouldn't in this case.

@DarkWiiPlayer, indeed.But the OP hasn't indicate whether to expect this.
